Product Description
Richard Bach’s latest book is an adventure of heart and mind fifty years ago he promised to come back through time and teach himself everything he had learned from living.
In this encounter with his 9 year old self Richard Bach tries to explain the things that really matter. He finds his teachings do not go as planned.
This is a captivating and magical story that will thrill fans of Richard Bach.
From the Back Cover
Fifty years ago, Richard Bach made a promise to himself to one day come back through time and teach himself everything he had learned from life. This pledge is forgotten until one day, flying his paraglider in the middle of the sky, he suddenly meets nine year old Dickie Bach, who expects the promise to be kept.
In this intimate adventure of mind and heart, Richard sets out to how Dickie the things that matter, and finds his teaching doesn’t go as planned. This is a book that supplies surprising answers to old questions: Who are we? What do we want to do with our lives and why aren’t we doing it? Must we always be the victim of circumstance instead of its master? And how do we learn to love?
This is a journal of forgotten childhood and the keys it holds to grown up mysteries; a gift for those convinced that angels can meet us in the midst of storms and remind us why we have chosen to live.
Richard Bach is the author of nine previous books: 'Stranger to the Ground, Biplane, Nothing by Chance, Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, A Gift of Wings, Illusions, There’s No Such Place as Far Away, The Bridge Across Forever' and 'One'.

Format:Paperback
I have now read nearly all of Richard Bach's books and I must say that Running from Safety is one of my favourites. It's very heavy in content and reading it straight after Illusions, The Bridge Across Forever and One was quite hard going, but when I reread it I got so much out of it, and still do. It is full of useful little maxims, interesting ideas and all the stuff we love Richard Bach for. If you've never read anything by him before it's a great place to start - it gives you an idea of who he is, his life, and his philosophies. Five stars - highly recommended!
