The elder offers an initiation to a younger self, an initiation the author feels is missing from our culture. Rendered as a stage play, the conversation between the 80-year-old author and his younger selves unfolds, and an ambiguity emerges as to whether this is strictly the author's internal dialogue or whether the younger self may be nurturing a rebirth of the author. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On one level, \u003ci\u003eI Am Not I\u003c\/i\u003e brings younger readers (teenagers and young adults) face to face with powerful spiritual and philosophical ideas. But as the book progresses, the dialogue delves into questions and insights that carry astonishing new hope and vision for every man and woman, challenging our culture's accepted--and often toxic--ideas about humanity's place in a living universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob Needleman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1623170141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623170141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e North Atlantic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Jacob Needleman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080316711167,"sku":"9781623170141","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41ee724c-8fce-48d0-a363-d9d473e0a04c.jpg?v=1685486138","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-am-not-i-jacob-needleman-9781623170141","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
