pickTikanga Maori is the concept of the rules that regulate and guide the lives of Maori people, and is used in every aspect of the life from the simple tasks, to the art, science, behaviour, ethics, spiritual guidance... All that was very new to me, and I think that this book is not meant for people like me - without any previous knowledge. Very academic, but still, the topic is interesting.

Simona @Riveted_Reader_Melissa It is, but that book really demands some knowledge about the topic ... I was googling at least three times per page to collect, to me, missing information. 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Simona gotcha, so maybe read something more introductory first. 3y
Reggie Have you read this, Paula? This sounds like a you book. @Centique 3y
Centique @Reggie I haven‘t read this one! Well done you @simona for getting through it. You are a star! If anyone else wants a less academic look at maori philosophy there is this brand new book I‘m on hold for at the moment @Riveted_Reader_Melissa![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Aroha: Maori Wisdom for a Contented Life Lived in Harmony with Our PlanetSimona @Centique Reading that book it was hard work, but I also think that this way of understanding things and world is fascinating. Thank you for your recommendation, it definitely sounds more approachable than my pick 🤗 3y
