Leonard Wolf, a retired professor now in his early eighties,
is the kind of person who likes to use a medieval astrolabe,
dress in Basque shepherd's clothing, and convince otherwise
sensible people to quit their jobs and follow their
passions. Leonard believes that inside everyone is an
artist, and that happiness in life depends on valuing and
acting upon one's creative impulse. In The Treehouse,
her most personal book yet, Naomi Wolf outlines her father's
lessons in creating lasting success and happiness, and
offers inspiration for the artist in all of
us. Drawn from Leonard's lecture notes, the
chapters of The Treehouse remind us to "Be Still and
Listen," "Use Your Imagination," and "Do Nothing Without
Passion," and that "Your Only Wage Will Be Joy" and
"Mistakes Are Part of the Draft." This is a journey
of self-discovery in which the creative endeavor is
paramount. The Treehouse is a stirring
personal history, a meditation on fathers and daughters, an
argument for honoring the creative impulse, and a unique
instruction in the art of personal happiness.
