In this entertaining compilation of the best quotations from Leslie Miklosy’s four previous books — with short essays, playful drawings and new material added — the author takes you on a journey of discovery in Out of My Mind: Quotations that Delight, Dazzle, and Confound.

He explores life's various aspects: creativity, temptation, relationship to self, opportunity and challenge, suffering, time and aging, humor and whimsy, and the quest to make sense of our lives and what lies beyond. Sometimes serious, sometimes offbeat, these life reflections aim to inspire you and expand your sense of life's possibilities.

"Leslie Miklosy has written a gem,” said Rob McNeilly, author of Healing the Whole Person. (This is) a rambling collection of pithy reminders of the joys and ironies of the human condition. These wry, whimsical, and at times tender snippets can be savored. …I'm looking forward to dipping into it again and again." 

Miklosy has worked in hospitality, mental health, philanthropy, government and education before retirement. He loves to play with words and ideas and describes himself as an aphorist, essayist and occasional interviewer, joke writer and poet. He lives in North Carolina.
