Synopsis

#1 New York Times Bestseller • More than 1.5 Million Copies SoldThomas Moore's now 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 even 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 21st century. Promising to deepen and broaden the reader's perspective on his or her own 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.

SECOND REVIEW, MARCH 2008: There will be many revisions of this review because I will probably have to read and re-read this book for my entire life just to fully absorb it. Freaking Thomas Moore.

First, my Official Rating. In my view, given what the author aimed for, to what degree was that accomplished? Definitely Thomas deserves five stars for this masterful job. "Soul" was a new concept to me, on reading this book; at least in contrast to cultural references I'd already absorbed, like "sou......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on February 22, 2008

Ok, the title sounds cheesy, but this is basically the best book of all time. It has absolutely informed my approach to my life, my friends', and my clinical work.

Such outlook could replenish contentment and restore warmth......more
