The Seven Paths | Free Book
This poetic, evocative story presents the meditations of an ancient Anasazi tribesman who rejects his family and sets off on a journey through the desert. He walks seven paths, each teaching a lesson symbolized by an element of the natural world: light, wind, water, stone, plants, animals, and, finally, the unity of all beings with the Creator. The Seven Paths reveals a source of wisdom, restoration, and renewal familiar to native people but lost to the rest of us, seven elements among nature that combine to mend human hearts.
In The Press
“There is much to learn from any person who has lived his life
trying to heed the wisdom he has gathered from the lingering voices
of his ancestors—especially in an age, like our own, when those
voices have been spurned. Ezekiel Sanchez (Good Buffalo Eagle),
cofounder of ANASAZI Foundation, is such a person. He has used the
ancient, tested wisdom of his people to touch the souls of thousands
of once- troubled young people and their families and show them the
way to reunion and peace. Such a person also is his literary
collaborator, Jim Ferrell. In The Seven Paths, they have distilled
their unique and luminous insight. Reading this book receptively,
you will likely catch yourself already forward walking in your heart
and awakening to the light.”
—C. Terry Warner, PhD, founder, The Arbinger Institute
“This book is profound! The principle of ‘We' is the secret to
every success on and off the field.”
—Steve Young, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback and ESPN commentator
“Through the story of the Seven Paths, my daughter realized how
she, too, had walked backward, away from her family. This profound
discovery saved my daughter's life, which in turn saved our entire
family. It gave her a solid foundation to navigate through her very
difficult teenage years...it gave our lost child new feet to find
her way—her path to becoming a loving, successful young adult with
truly a heart at peace.”
—Elaine Taylor, President, The Taylor Family Foundation
“Speaking with the wisdom of ancient ones, this guide to life's
chal- lenging journey is brilliantly accessible and spiritually
transforming.”
—Richard Ferre, MD, adolescent and adult psychiatrist
“The Seven Paths lays the groundwork for personal growth, insights,
and strength required in long-term recovery.”
—Jon Memmott, retired judge
“Every page is filled with insight and wisdom. You will want to
read it, share it, and read it again.”
—Dale Tingey, PhD, founder and Executive Director, American Indian

“The Seven Paths epitomizes the strength of one of my
favorite words: TEAM—Together Everyone Achieves More.”
—Bart Starr, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback
“In the universal moments of feeling stuck or lost, the Seven Paths
are simple and profound truths that provide not only solace but
genuine ways to change your heart.”
—Courtney Merrill, LMFT, marriage and family therapist and
educational consultant
“ANASAZI Foundation's Seven Paths illustrates an oft-forgotten
truth that it is not our experiences that determine the quality of
our lives but who we are morally when we pass through those
experiences. To walk in the light instead of in darkness means we
see our experiences truthfully and learn and grow. When we betray
the light within us, we walk in darkness and we find our experiences
burdensome. This book is an invitation to all to live truthfully and
distinguish toxic from nourishing ways of being in the world.”
—Terrance D. Olson, PhD, Ernest Osborne award winner in Family Life
Education
“The Seven Paths is truly a blessing. I recommend it to anyone in
need of healing, wisdom, power, and goodness.”
—Stan Block, MD, author and founder, Mind-Body Bridging
“A little book with a big message! The Seven Paths reminds us of
who we are, our relationship to our Creator, and how happiness with
our families is within our grasp.”
—Danny Ainge, former professional basketball and baseball player
and President of Basketball Operations, Boston Celtics
“It is a privilege to recommend The Seven Paths. ANASAZI is one of
the best programs for helping young people and adults make major
changes in their lives, and I am thrilled this book will make the
phi- losophy and wisdom its program is based on accessible to a
larger audience.”
—Ralph H. Earle, MDiv, PhD, founder and President, Psychological
Counseling Services, Ltd.
