Jonathan livingston seagull : a story

---

Because he spends so much time perfecting his flying form instead of concentrating on getting food, a seagull is ostracized by the rest of the flock. This book tells the story of a bird determined to be more than ordinary. This is a story for people who want to follow their dreams and make their own rules and has inspired people for decades. Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight, how to get from shore to food and back again, in this allegory about a unique bird named Jonathan Livingston Seagull, it was not eating that mattered, but flight. Flight is indeed the metaphor that makes this story soar. This is a fable about seeking a higher purpose in life, even if your flock, tribe or neighbourhood finds your ambition threatening, at one point our beloved gull is even banished from his flock. By not compromising his higher vision, Jonathan learns the meaning of love and kindness and gets the ultimate payoff, transcendence
