"In "Seven Sins for a Life Worth Living "Housden presents erudite,
witty essays on seven so-called "transgressions"--sensuality,
foolishness, ignorance, imperfection, uselessness, ordinariness and
prodigality. There are no case studies, success stories or how-to
exercises in "Seven Sins". Instead, we get the author's personal
reflections on modern life, sprinkled throughout with apt,
wide-ranging references and quotes from philosophers and poets,
scientists, political figures, artists and literary greats. This
book is a subjective prescription for happiness, an utter delight,
filled with Housden's trademark self-deprecatory humor...Roger
Housden wants you to consider sin in a whole new light--as a means
toward enlightenment! This book is an utter delight, filled with
Housden's trademark self-deprecatory humor and slightly offbeat
insight. You probably won't see hell if you read this book, but you
just might catch a glimpse of heaven."--"BookPage
""A beautifully introspective book written by a keen observer of
modern life. Housden's writing is pheromonal and provocative. It
resembles the random musings of a self-professed dreamer. But lying
within those ramblings is an elixir for life." --Wendy Hoke,
"Dallas Morning News"
