NEWS:
Macmillan Publishing’s (4th) edition of The Well of Being went out-of-print, the rights have reverted to the author, Jean-Pierre. Jean-Pierre purchased the remaining stock of approximately  2,500 units. As of now, there are no current plans to reprint, but we will ship out the remaining stock.

The Well of Being, by Jean-Pierre Weill, is an illustrated inquiry into the art of happiness and what it means to be radically alive in our daily moments. Images and a graceful philosophic text invite us to awaken from our constructed stories so that we may return to this world and live in the present. The book opens with a perennial account of life's ultimate purpose and concludes with a unique retelling of the puzzle we call growing up. Through art, philosophy, and poetry, we are offered a refreshing and empowering way to rethink ourselves. The book is an experience to be felt.
