Find Your Own Mountains
How do we live a full and satisfying life? How do we know what we can excel at? How do we start believing that we have many options? Find Your Own Mountains is a collection of stories from Paul's travels and exploits which he diarised throughout his life, and which greatly contributed to the discovery of his own capabilities and the formation of his character. He distils the essence of his learnings in a sequence of 18 letters to his daughter, written for her eighteenth birthday, as she embarks on her adult life. But the letters and stories resonate with all of us, regardless of our age and background. There are tales of challenging outdoor adventures alongside accounts of running with the b...
The Philosophy of Creativity
Creativity pervades human life. It is the mark of individuality, the vehicle of self-expression, and the engine of progress in every human endeavor. It also raises a wealth of neglected and yet evocative philosophical questions. The Philosophy of Creativity takes up these questions and, in doing so, illustrates the value of interdisciplinary exchange.
The Gift of Samuel
Joshua Barratt is a fifteen year old boy who is unexpectedly forced to leave Hartland, the only home he's ever known. On the road, in a dystopian future, where computers no longer function, and money no longer has any value, Joshua's mind, body and spirit are pushed to their limits. Conflicts arise that make him question his own worth and, ultimately, make him question the reality around him. A gift beyond his comprehension is waiting for him, if he can just find the courage to seek it.
The Myths We Live By
First published in 1990, The Myths We Live By explores how memory and tradition are continually reshaped and recycled to make sense of the past from the standpoint of the present. The book makes use of the rich material of recorded life stories, with examples stretching from the transient myths of contemporary Italian school children on strike, back to the family legends of classical Greece, and the traditional storytelling of Canadian Indians. The range of examples is international and together they advocate a transformed history, which actively relates subjective and objective, past and present, politics and poetry, and highlights history as a living force in the present. The Myths We Live By will appeal to anyone interested in oral history, memory, and myth.
Hitchhiking with Larry David
A memoir about a brokenhearted, middle-aged man who stumbles upon solace, meaning, and Larry David while hitchhiking around Martha’s Vineyard One summer day on Martha’s Vineyard Paul Samuel Dolman was hitchhiking, and none other than Larry David pulled over and asked, “You’re not a serial killer or something, are you?” The comedic writer and actor not only gave Dolman a ride but helped him find his way. Dolman found himself on Martha’s Vineyard that summer in the wake of a painful breakup. Desperately seeking companionship, he began hitchhiking around the island and met a wide array of characters: the rich and the homeless, movie stars and common folk, and, of course, Mr. David. Written with disarming honest humor, Hitchhiking with Larry David will leave readers simultaneously laughing and crying as they ponder the mystery and spirituality of life.
The Odyssey of Samuel Glass
A coming-of-age story by a master of storytelling on the need to love and cherish life and grab it by the drosky's reins. This is Kops at his most irrepressible and irreverent, vibrant and lyrical and connected - to the present and the past. Seventeen-year-old Sam Glass is depressed.

Then a strange figure appears who claims to be a rabbi from the Middle Ages, who takes Sam back in time to the Russia of 1881. He meets a panoply of characters including his own forebears and some familiar figures from Jewish history. Then he discovers the secret purpose for which he has been chosen -- to assassinate Tsar Alexander II ..
