註釋According to Jewish theology, the Evil Inclination, or yetzer ha-ra, is the little voice inside us all, goading us -- against our better judgment -- to do bad things. Travels with the Evil Inclination is Gershon Winkler's hilarious account of his struggles with the Evil One and the life journey that takes him from an ultra-Orthodox upbringing in Brooklyn, New York, to an ultra-Flexidox lifestyle in rural New Mexico. Through his early childhood in Denmark and his yeshiva boyhood in Brooklyn, his years in the U.S. Army and those spent ranching in Colorado, Winkler's faith and belief undergo constant upheaval as he grapples towards a reconciliation of his passion for religious tradition with his passion for things more earthly. With irreverence and humor, Winkler tells his tale of personal spiritual dissolution and his subsequent re-emergence as a teacher and writer exploring the long-forgotten connections between Judaism and shamanism. Travels with the Evil Inclination is an inspiring and entertaining story of the unusual life of a most original man.
