An adorable tale which should be just right for that special pre-teen, giving them inspiration to live their "highest right" without seeming preachy, portraying a society in which each person's choices are respected.
Actually, it was just perfect for this older adult. Sometimes I get so involved in my tasks, I forget my purpose (p. 341)

It is very difficult to question ourselves, especially when we don’t know if what we are doing is right or wrong. This book will make you question everything. It’s an exciting book that asks you to think differently. “What if the world around you is just a mirror image of what you think? What would happen if you decided to change your thoughts?” This book has profound concepts that have the power to change your life. I loved reading it, read it as many times as you can.
Is the world in our mind, and not outside?
What if we see about us are reflections of what we think is so?
What's reflected when we decide to change our thought?

Here I stand today, bored at last to stone with dramas about evil, films about war and malice and crime. I promised that if I had to watch one more prison scene, one more aggression, one more gigantic spectacular stupendous explosion on screen, fiction or non, I'd walk out and rebuild the universe.
-- BOOM! --
What if something happened, I got to wondering as I walked away, and a culture grew up without evil, without crime or war? What would it do with all energies that we squander on our destructions?
How would it feel to live in a world where we choose our highest right and not our show more darkest wrong, where we lift each other instead of always and ever putting each other down?
How could such a civilization begin, and where would it go?
So was born Curious Lives, the story of a doomed civilization that returned to life upon the single act of one individual.

A direct descendant of the composer Johann Sebastian Bach, Richard Bach was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1936. He attended Long Beach State College in 1955 and had a successful career in aviation, as an Air Force pilot, a flight instructor, an aviation mechanic, and an editor for Flying magazine. Jonathan Livingston Seagull, the novel that made show more him famous, was written as the result of a vision. Halfway through the book, the vision disappeared and, finding that he was unable to continue, Bach, put the novel aside. When the vision reappeared, Bach finished the work. Jonathan Livingston Seagull, published in 1972, was an unexpected success and became the best-selling book in the United States for that year. The book is heavily influenced by Bach's love of flying and provides a marvelous inspirational message. The Bridge Across Forever: A Love Story, One, Messiah's Handbook: Reminders for the Advanced Soul (2004), and Hypnotizing Maria (2009) are some of his other novels that blend inspiration, love, fantasy, and hope. In recent years Bach has written Thank Your Wicked Parents: Blessings from a Difficult Childhood (2012), Rainbow Ridge and Travels with Puff: A Gentle Game of Life and Death (2013), NiceTiger, (Bowker Author Biography) He is the author of eleven books, including Stranger to the Ground, Biplane, A Gift of Wings, Illusions, One, and Running from Safety.
