A treasury of insights and advice for living joyously and spiritually today, for people of all faiths—and no faith.

One of the great spiritual seekers, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772–1810) is among the most often quoted of the Hasidic masters. Even after two centuries, his teachings have a potent, meaningful message: Never lose hope; find joy and cause for happiness in everything that happens to you.

Nachman of Breslov (1772–1810) was founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement, known for its spiritual approach to Judaism.
