Aitzoas Yesharoas — Upright Counsel

Upright Counsel — arranged according to the Alef-Bais Gathered from the holy works of Rabbainu Nachman of Breslov and his foremost disciple, Rav Nassan of Breslov, of blessed and holy memory

The book Aitzoas Yesharoas is arranged according to the Alef-Bais — small in quantity and abundant in quality. And they are pure utterances. And they instruct a person in a straight path. To walk in them for generations upon generations. From which every matter of this world was set apart. From the mouth of the great eagle. Who is none other than the holy Rav, the Tzadik, yesod olam [foundation of the world], the holy luminary, the man of G-d, our teacher and master, Rav Nassan, of saintly and holy memory. And he was the foremost disciple of our teacher and master, Rav Nachman of Breslov, of saintly and holy memory. Who left behind — [left behind] — after him a blessing over all four sections of the Shulchan Aruch, and called them by the name Likutay Halachoas. And now G-d has illuminated my spirit, and I gleaned — gleanings after gleanings — a few kernels of wisdom and understanding from the books of Likutay Halachoas aforementioned, and from the books of Likutay Moharan. So that they may serve as a handhold for every person, to be for them a ladder by which to ascend to the heights above, rung by rung through the holy character traits and the service of G-d.
