Roger Housden emigrated from England to the United States in 1998 and now lives in New York City and New Jersey. He is the author of numerous books on cultural and spiritual themes, including the bestselling Ten Poems series. You can contact him at tenpoems@juno.com.
"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"
