THE RUMI PRESCRIPTION:

A powerful personal journey to find meaning and life lessons in the words of a wildly popular 13th century poet.

Paralyzed by self-doubt and writer's block, Melody Moezzi found herself at a dead end. In an act of desperation, she decided to go home to her parents, the bearers of her Persian past. So begins the pilgrimage at the center of The Rumi Prescription. What began as Melody's journey to learn Rumi's poetry from her father with the hope of reviving her creative spirit has since turned into a lifelong spiritual pursuit that has revived her whole heart. Every chapter is brimming with life lessons that are both personal and universal. In the tradition of The Tao of Pooh or How Proust Can Change Your Life, The Rumi Prescription offers timeless spiritual teachings in an accessible way-- teachings that healed Melody's psychic wounds. It is a tale of transformation through the power of love expressed in Rumi's verses. In a time full of fear and hate, The Rumi Prescription is vital and relevant as well as delightfully engaging.
