The Story
Muhammad Alis boxing career is arguably the most documented and widely known in the world. Everyone has heard from others or seen for themselves the man who can Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. His supreme confidence and utter dominance in the ring have made Ali the stuff of legend, and deservedly so.
Perhaps less well known, though equally important, is the deeply spiritual, compassionate social activist behind the gloves, which is presented by Ali himself, with the help of his daughter, Hana. "It is after I retired from boxing that my true work began. I have embarked on a journey of love."
This collection of essays, poems and spiritual reflections depicts a man who has worked hard his entire life to achieve great wisdom. In explaining the philosophy by which Ali lives, his usual bravado is replaced with humility and deep respect for those who have laid his spiritual and philosophical foundation.
"Not all of my wisdom is my own. It belongs to those who walked on pebbled roads. Those who inspired us to reach for the stars and fly."
