This is a book about our inner power to live and flourish in a challenging world. In 1934, a thirteen-year-old boy from a small village in western Egypt is on his first trip across the desert when he discovers something about his life that transforms his future. He’s traveling with his seventy-year-old uncle, who is exceptionally wise for any stage of life. The boy and his older relative are also accompanied by a caravan of merchants and animals traveling to Cairo to bring goods to market. The young man has had no idea what awaits him on this trip. His uncle will decide to share with him the basic elements of a practical and yet profound philosophy of life, as they deal with events and challenges that appear throughout the journey. And this wisdom for living will prove to have come at just the right time, when the boy learns that he is on his way, not just to a marketplace, but to a life change that will thrust him into new dangers and opportunities beyond anything he has ever imagined. This book is the short prologue to a forthcoming series of seven novels entitled, Walid and the Mysteries of Phi.

Review The Oasis Within shows the charming and enchanting power of an exquisitely wrought story to contextualize and bring truth to life. Tom Morris, one of the leading public intellectuals and philosophers in the world today, finds a new way to weave his magic and share wisdom gleaned from a lifetime of studying the classics of literature. He illustrates with simplicity and grace the power of those timeless and transcultural truths that we all need in our lives. This artful collection of short and potent vignettes has the potential to be a classic, read with profit-and savored-by young and old alike. David Baggett, Ph.D., Editor of Harry Potter and Philosophy, and co-author of Good God, and God and Cosmos, among other books Tom Morris brings a calm and grounded focus to what it is to have a truly happy and meaningful life. By combining humor and simplicity with traditional philosophical principles, this story shows us how to create our own oasis from within and inspire those around us to do the same. David Mcwilliams, Managing Director, UBS Financial Services Tom Morris is one of the great storytellers of our time, and it's delightful that he has decided to convey such important ideas in story form. Robert Herrmann, CEO, Discovery Company If Plato had written his dialogues for modern readers, they might have looked like Tom Morris' The Oasis Within. In the context of an adventure story, a young Egyptian boy, Walid, is gently prepared for his future by his uncle, Ali. Ali speaks with all the accumulated practical wisdom of Tom Morris, who has spent his highly successful professional and publishing life bringing the philosophical insights of the ages to the American public. As readers follow Walid's journey, they will learn along with him the valuable wisdom that might just change their own lives as well.

The Journey of Wisdom begins By Ed Brenegar If you could take the great wisdom of the world and teach the best way possible, it would be in story and experience. This is what Tom V. Morris has accomplished with The Oasis Within: A Journey of Preparation. It is a story of a wise uncle and his nephew as they caravan across the desert in the 1930s. They speak of the deep things of life, all very philosophical, yet without it being a lecture or a set of abstractions. This is like a conversation taking place with a close friend as you make a long road trip. As a result, it is an ideal book for conversation between people.This book is so jammed packed with practical wisdom, that I'm wonder what could be said in the upcoming novels in the series, Walid and The Mysteries of Phi. My recommendation is that you buy two copies, share one with a friend or family member, and then talk about the stories and wisdom that Tom brings to us. This would be particularly good for a grandparent to give to their grandchild as they enter middle school. The Oasis Within: A Journey of Preparation
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Read This Review!! By John B. Spence I am listed as one of the top book reviewers on Amazon and I can say without hesitation that this book would be in my top 10 of all time. I read more than 100 leadership/philosophy/self-help books year and have every year since 1989 and The Oasis Within is a compilation of the very best ideas I've seen through all those books wrapped up in a wonderful and engaging story, with compelling characters and truly life-changing lessons. This is a superb book for any adult, but if I had teenager I would get this book for them immediately. If you have read The Profit, The Richest Man in Babylon, the Four Agreements or the Alchemist and enjoyed them – this book will absolutely delight you. I honestly believe this book is destined to one day be considered among the best ever written on personal success and a life well lived. This book has my highest possible recommendation.

By Martha Slessman THE OASIS WITHINTom MorrisWisdom WorksISBN: 978-0-692-50047-7$14.99 – Paperback164 PagesReviewer: Annie SlessmanTHE OASIS WITHIN, by Dr. Tom Morris is his first book of philosophy written in a fiction format. Being a first, one would think there would be flaws in the attempt. However, there are no flaws here. Just a beautifully written piece of fiction filled with complex philosophical concepts broken down into language easily understood by young and old alike.As Walid and his Uncle Ali, cross the desert with a caravan, there is ample opportunity for Uncle Ali to share his wisdom and experience with young, Walid. Each vista and new experience provides a venue to explain life management techniques to his young nephew. That the book tells a story and still instills one with the wisdom of the Stoics, provides for some very interesting reading.I will share this work with my eight-year old grandson and use the book as a mapping system for helping him to better cope with society and live a happier, healthier life.I am excited to see Dr. Morris finally take his wisdom and experience into a fictional format. He has said there is more to come in the “Oasis” series and I for one, cannot wait for the next installment.
