About the Book
"Twenty-fifth anniversary edition with a new introduction by the author"--Cover.Book Synopsis
"Thoughtful, eloquent, inspiring." -- San Francisco Chronicle
A special 25th anniversary edition of Thomas Moore's #1 New York Times bestseller, with a new introduction by the author. More timely than ever, this classic work provides a powerful spiritual message for our troubled times.
In Care of the Soul, readers are presented with a revolutionary approach to thinking about daily life--everyday activities, events, problems, and creative opportunities--and a therapeutic lifestyle is proposed that focuses on looking more deeply into emotional problems and learning how to sense sacredness in ordinary things.
Basing his writing on the ancient model of "care of the soul"--which provided a religious context for viewing the everyday events of life--Moore brings "care of the soul" into the twenty-first century. Promising to deepen and broaden the readers' perspectives on their life experiences, Moore draws on his own life as a therapist practicing "care of the soul," as well as his studies of the world's religions and his work in music and art, to create this inspirational guide that examines the connections between spirituality and the problems of individuals and society.
