Publisher’s Description

Pearls of wisdom contained in proverbs - whakatauk I - have been gifted from generation to generation as an intrinsic part of the Maori world.

As powerful metaphors, they combine analogy and cultural history in the most economical of words. Short and insightful, they surprise, engendering reflection, learning and personal growth. Mauri Ora links whakatauk I to key personal virtues idealised across cultures and generations. The virtues - wisdom, courage, compassion, integrity, self-mastery and belief - stem from the science of positive psychology; the study of how to live a better life.

Illustrated throughout with wonderful photographs from an old world, this book draws on traditional wisdom to provide a recipe for personal effectiveness and leadership, and a rewarding connection of Maori knowledge to contemporary thinking about personal happiness and fulfilment.

Fulfilment

We endeavour to despatch all web-store orders within 1-2 working days. If, for any reason, we cannot achieve this we will let you know. We process orders during weekday shop hours (10-5, Mon-Fri). Orders placed on weekends and public holidays will be processed and despatched on the next working day.

Delivery

All orders are shipped via courier and you will receive an email or text notification once despatched - this will include your tracking details.

As we ship from a small village at the bottom of the world, delivery times are sometimes not as snappy as in metro areas. However, if all goes to plan, South Island (non-RD) customers can reasonably expect delivery within 1-3 working days and North Island (non-RD) customers will need to add 2 days to this estimate.

Packages require signature upon delivery so please specify an address that is occupied during normal business hours (9-5, Mon-Fri). In the event of failed delivery attempts (card to call) you may have to arrange a delivery time directly with the courier, or collect from the depot. We are not responsible for any costs or inconvenience incurred due to delivery failure of this nature.
