More DescriptionIn the vein of chicken soup stories, this amusing, slim volume features tales from the American author's trials and tribulations of living at a spiritual retreat in Scotland. Excerpted from the author's memoir, the stories are couched in terms of "life's annoying moments" for this latest work. The new book includes such personal annoyances as "when you volunteer to plant trees but end up mucking out chicken coops," which she translates in a way most can relate to: "when plans change without warning." Each short chapter focuses on a humorous irritation (how about "when children use your grain bucket for collecting frog spawn") from the author's Scotland experience, along with a common translation, a lesson learned, and some applied verse from the poet Rumi for how to cope. The chapters have delightful illustrations too. The Value of Your Soul is like lamb stew for the annoyed soul!
