About this audiobook
2025 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS GOLD WINNER
“A Book of Balance should be read by every architect, engineer, manager, leader, and anyone with authority in the creation of our modern world... Everyone can benefit from this book and the ancient wisdom it offers." — Garden Marcus, author of How to Grow
“A Book of Balance provides essential natural wisdom from the past to help us live more fully in the present so we can save our planet’s future. These indigenous teachings make for a powerful read.”— Patrick McDonnell, creator of Heart to Heart with the Dalai Lama
We all need answers for how to live our best lives. We want to settle our souls.
For centuries, the Kogi have lived in seclusion in Colombia’s remote Sierra Nevadas, known as “the heart of the world.” Now a few emissaries from the tribe have emerged to bring an urgent and loving message to the West—advice on how to live in harmony with the earth.
Lucas Buchholz was invited to their home to receive and transcribe this message and guidance. A Book of Balance takes us on a journey into a startlingly beautiful landscape and into a sacred fireside circle where members consider key questions, including:
What Did You Plant? What Did You Harvest?
How Will We Pass the Knowledge On to Our Children?
What Does It Mean to the World That I Am Here?
In this slim volume of spiritual introspection, they ask us to share in their practice, posing nine questions that focus our minds and hearts on who we are, who we can become.
A beautiful book to own, to share with friends, and discuss in community. For readers of The Book of Hygge and Ikigai—books that bring the wisdom of other cultures to our own.
