Summary: A spiritual foundation
Comment: ...laid gradually, day by day. There are still critics of Tolstoy who view his religious phase of life with anything from consternation to disdain. The fact is that he brought a probing intellect as strong as anyone else's in Europe, searing psychological understanding, and voluminous reading to bear on the fundamental questions of life. In this book he collected the wisest sayings he could find on a multitude of topics, plus his own distillations of their wisdom, and arranged them by subject for daily meditation. One effect of this book, which I'm sure Tolstoy desired, was that you'll want to go back to his sources with renewed eagerness. One professional reviewer described this book as "chicken soup for the soul without the schmalz". It's more than chicken soup -- it's the bread of life.

Summary: Excellent!
Comment: This 365 day journey compiled by Tolstoy is a journal that he himself read year after year following his authorship of it. The book contains wisdom from the world's various sacred texts, including wisdom from the Christian, Buddhist, and Muslim traditions, and more. A wonderfully inspiring daily devotional that is perfect for open-minded individuals of all religions. Buy this book!!

Summary: Good book but NOT the "last" book written by Tolstoy
Comment: Calendar of Wisdom, a compilation of various wise sayings, is not the last book written by Tolstoy as claimed by one reader --Path of Life is. Calendar of Wisdom is a collection of wise sayings that caught Tolstoy's fancy. By the time he was 82 Tolstoy had re-thought the sayings in Calendar of Wisdom from a different point of view. In Path of Life he organized old and new wise sayings, from his own writing and from other philosophers, into an ordered, coherent philosophy of life --hence the title.
