Synopsis

Starting from the premise that we can no longer afford to live in a disenchanted world, Moore shows that a profound, enchanted engagement with life is not a childish thing to be put away with adulthood, but a necessity for one's personal and collective survival. With his lens focused on specific aspects of daily life such as clothing, food, furniture, architecture, ecology, language, and politics, Moore describes the renaissance these can undergo when there is a genuine engagement with beauty, craft, nature, and art in both private and public life. Millions of readers who found comfort and substance in Moore's previous bestsellers will discover in this book ways to restore the heart and soul of work, home, and creative endeavors through a radical, fresh return to ancient ways of living the soulful life.

The first half of this book is of dubious quality.

As I've been pondering the nature of spirituality, I've been reading some new things, but also returning to books that have moved me in the past. This re-read was particularly helpful, as Moore touched on some things that have been percolating in my own thoughts. Again and again he returns to some k......more

Goodreads review by Diana on August 12, 2013

The Re-enchantment of Everyday Life is one of those rare books that makes you really think about how you view yourself, your world, and your spiritual life. Thomas Moore helps you to see that enchantment is everywhere around you (past, present and future) if you just look. In our effort to explain e......more

Goodreads review by Vanessa on November 24, 2021

About 2/3 of this book is 5 stars. Utterly delightful, highly intelligent, secure in deep enchantment. The other 1/3 is a hot mess. Perhaps it is because I am reading it so long after it was originally published in the 1990’s. I understand books don’t always stand the test of time. But I’m simply no......more
