Synopsis

Now updated with new material by #1 New York Times bestselling author and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, the twentieth anniversary edition of Healing the Soul of America shares her timeless, visionary message of political healing.

In the twentieth anniversary edition of Healing the Soul of America, Marianne Williamson reclaims her powerful voice for social conscience in American society. This is a time, according to Williamson, for Americans to return once again to our first principles, both politically and spiritually. Here, Williamson draws plans to transform the American political consciousness and encourage powerful citizen involvement to heal our society.

With updated material throughout, Williamson explores the current state of American politics, reminding us of her theory of holistic politics—the convergence of political activists looking toward spiritual wisdom and spiritual contemplatives extending their service into the political landscape. She believes that a morally concerned American must now take an active stand in turning this country away from its current identity as a nation obsessively in love with its money to a nation more seriously invested in all of its children and the potential brilliance of every citizen.

“Marianne Williamson…is attempting to…help not only her followers but an entire nation” (People). In the wake of the current political dysphoria, with countless tragedies consistently on the nightly news, America is facing a time of immense division. Political parties that completely polarize friends and family, mass shootings, threats of nuclear war, and a lack of confidence in our governmental leaders show that the country is in desperate need of restoration. We need a new paradigm of political understanding, a moral commitment to express it, and a new kind of activism to bring it forth. Healing the Soul of America is a blueprint for all three and there has never been a more urgent need.

Goodreads review by Timo on January 03, 2019

Ho hum... though I agree with Williamson on many issues, she's a pop-spiritualist in the way that many seem to crave pop-spirituality. When she's talking about political issues, she's mostly on target. But she roots her ideas in false and nonsensical attributions to god and universality. Note...I con......more

Goodreads review by John on September 12, 2017

Ms. Williamson is brilliant. All through this book, she: makes keen observations on socio-political issues in America; compares and contrasts them with spiritual malaise in individuals; and, demonstrates how to heal both. I love her thought processes and the output of them. I did find a few parts a......more

Goodreads review by Jeanne on August 30, 2013

This book was released in 2000 but virtually all of it still applies to our politics today. Marianne Williamson offers constructive and positive methods to help the average person become involved and to help change our political system by using prayer and meditation. Well written with clear insight......more

Goodreads review by Jessi on December 27, 2007

Marianne Williamson rocks. This book came out in 1997/2000. A lot of the things she discusses, the emotional impact of America's economic situations, have gone down darker roads since Bush's imperialistic ass took office. It's kind of scary -- she predicts what will happen if we don't turn our natio......more
