Description:

The Book of the Courtier meets Eckhart Tolle in this unique fusion of deportment and spirituality that urges readers to walk the talk and live their highest ideals. Taking Renaissance values and philosophy as its starting point, A Personal Aristocracy crisscrosses traditional terrain left untouched by most New Age and liberal writers. But unlike those who use Western civilization and aristocratic values to advance a backward-looking agenda, author True Blue Indigo—an off-the-grid roamer with an iPhone, Indian-Hippie with a love of Italian Renaissance ideals, and itinerant scribe—has an expansive purpose in mind: to offer a tonic for the pervasive rudeness and self-absorption of modern culture. He gives those interested in New Thought, consciousness, and spiritual growth a fresh perspective on classical values, encouraging them to explore beauty and graciousness that surpass the old forms by imbuing the best of the secular with spirit. Short, meditative chapters open with an illuminating epigraph and move on to consider such qualities as dignity, honor, reverence, truth, and forbearance, followed by sound strategies for integrating these traits into daily life.

Author Biography:

True Blue Indigo served as the director of the Alaska Natural Energy Institute, where he organized a global conference exploring the future of hydrogen technology. A self-taught pilot, aircraft mechanic, and flight instructor as well as a subsistence fisher, caribou hunter, and whitewater raft guide, he lives in Alaska and the desert Southwest.

“A Personal Aristocracy is unique because it asks us to consider just how important it is for us to honor and live by the values and virtues that we hold so close to our heart, without being preachy or condescending.”
—Spiritual Media Blog

“If you would like to read a lyrical manifest for the modern age that gracefully invites us to live at our highest potential, buy this book.”
