Late in my life I learned another great lesson in Costa Rica: at
my retirement from the UN I became volunteer Chancellor for
one-dollar-a-year of the UN University for Peace in a magnificent,
natural, primeval wonderland. I bought an old farmhouse and
farmland adjacent to the university. There we have cows, a
magnificent turkey, a flock of chickens and monkeys in the
primeval woods. In order not to be eaten in the night by coyotes
coming from the woods the hens and the cocks fly up on top of
trees near the farmhouse. The roosters begin to sing the
resurrection of the day at four o'clock in the morning dialoguing
with cocks in the valley. In order to get enough sleep Barbara
and I decided to go to bed early, not later than 7:00 to 8:00pm.
As a result we wake up with the cocks having had eight to nine
hours of sleep and you cannot imagine how much work you can do
between 4:00am and 8:00am before getting involved in daily
affairs.
We also decided to have a siesta each day after luncheon because a total of eight hours from 4:00am to midday is almost equivalent to a whole working day. What we did confirmed an old popular saying: hours of sleep before midnight count twice. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life
From a reader:
*"Your book Most of All, They Taught Me Happiness puzzles me more and more. Every evening I read or reread a chapter and each time I discover a new truth. I now find myself being grateful for every day of my life and thanking God for that extraordinarily precious gift. I had never done this before. I have learned more from your book than from my Ph.D. in philosophy."
