WINNER OF THE 2018 INDIE PRESS EXCELLENCE AWARD

“You will find it hard to put down this remarkably engaging and thought-provoking book, and will never look at cancer, civilization, and the human condition in the same way. Mark Seely’s writing grabs you from the first sentence and gently leads you, step by step, to a fuller but alarming understanding of who you are—maybe it is time to blow up the computer and move to the woods.”

~ Dr. Donald Johanson, Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind

Stones: Meditations on Human Authenticity

Quantity

“With Stones, Mark Seely invites us to take a journey around the world, back through history and into his own body. The very real problem of civilization, as an opiate for the masses, far greater than anything mere television could conjure up, is writ large in this fascinating tale of survival, whatever the challenges.”

~ Keith Farnish, author of Time’s Up! An Uncivilized Solution to a Global Crisis and Underminers: A Practical Guide for Radical Change

“What do an ailing human body and our planet have in common? Plenty. Mark Seely deftly explores the connections in Stones, combining a psychologist’s insight into human behavior, a teacher’s skill for making complex information understandable, and a poet’s gift for beautiful syntax. Equal parts memoir, history, and cultural philosophy, Stones examines what it means to be human in today’s world, from planetary crisis to personal mortality. You may not agree with all of his conclusions, but Seely will definitely make you think.”
