Facing the World with Soul: The Reimagination of Modern Life

This book is amazing at looking through a soul perspective. Opened up the world for me.

Opens the possibility of imagining a life of meaning and richness, rather than an empty series of empty goals of avoiding pain and getting brass rings.

I am very pleased. Thank you.

Outstanding collection of very personal essays designed to make one think, with the heart.

This is a book, while deep in exploration, offers insights to get to the top of the mountain on your own path

A meaningful exploration of participation in the world with the immutable capacities of the soul.

....because it's nicely written, zeroing in as it does on the things and details in life: light on theory, thick on getting the most out of the phenomenology of everyday experience.The pleasant "Dear Friends" letter format will work for some readers but not perhaps for others; also, while a lot of the concepts are review if you're well up on archetypal psychology, the applications are novel; the chapter that deals with cancer and AIDS as "cold" manifestations is very interesting.

I read this because the author was highly regarded by one of my favorite writers, Joseph Chilton Pearce. It was a huge disappointment. Layer upon layer of metaphor, classical references, even references to contemporary hipster artists. Needless layers of fluff obscuring what may be a powerful message.
