À propos de cet audio
In The Wisdom of the Shire, Noble Smith sheds light on the life-changing ideas tucked away inside the classic works of J. R. R. Tolkien and his most beloved creation—the stouthearted Hobbits.
Drawing on The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and other tales of Middle-earth, Smith shows how a snug hobbit-hole is actually just a state of mind and how even the smallest person can have the valor of a Rider of Rohan. He explores subjects dear to a halfling’s heart, such as beer, food, and friendship, as well as more serious concerns, such as courage, living in harmony with nature, and good versus evil.
How can simple pleasures such as gardening, taking long walks, and eating delicious meals with friends make you significantly happier? Why is the act of giving presents on your birthday instead of getting them such a revolutionary idea? And how can we carry the burden of our own "Ring of Power: without becoming devoured by it? The Wisdom of the Shire holds the answers to these and more of life’s essential questions.
Noble Smith is an award-winning playwright who has worked as a video game writer, documentary film producer, and media director of an international human-rights foundation.

Great wisdom
Great little book with down to earth solutions for what ails most humans. Good intuition as to the message amidst the story.

Good on hobbits but too much tiresome moralizing
I did not need the author's random thoughts about GMOs or politics. The book would have been better omitting explicit references to modern life which are just a thin use of Tolkien to justify the author's political views.

Loved every moment of it!
I loved every moment of this book, it took me back to Middle Earth and got me excited to bring it back to my life.
This book brings together some well written deep wisdom from the Toilken universe that translates well into our daily lives.
I was hooked from the beginning to the end and was a little sad that it was over, wish it was longer!
A must read for all LoTR and Hobbit fans! Trust me ;)
I hope you enjoy the long road to the wisdom of the Shire
