A 21st Century Desiderata

Stephen Brown, Lord Yerton of Glencoe, has taken the style of the original 1927 poem "Desiderata" by Max Ehrmann, and reconsidered it for the early 21st Century.

In this work he advises what might be his thoughtful "desired things" for the next generation.

This book is an insightful, and often times intriguing, examination of post-austerity cultural values that resonate through a thatched ethical overlay.

This work will appeal to readers who would consider how to determine "legacy" in rapidly changing, and deeply interesting times.

Excerpts:

Take comfort in solace, for there you will gather strength.

Sleep soundly and gently, regularly and by the clock. Waken to your own time and allow yourself to proceed with care and attention.

Today is the foundation stone of your future - place it wisely.

Trusted are the humble, and seldom alone.

Mitigate all risks with time well spent.
