Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Five Stages of the Soul is the first book to identify the five specific stages of spiritual awakening most of us go through: the Call, when we receive a message that we have lost our way and that something has gone wrong in our lives; the Search; the Struggle, when we have found the way and begin the climb to spiritual fulfillment; the Breakthrough; the Return. Combining psychology, religion, myth, and literature, Harry Moody - in the bestselling tradition of Joseph Campbell, Thomas Moore, and Scott Peck - charts the passages of countless individuals across the country who have lived through these five spiritual stages, and recounts their lessons and experiences. Moreover, he explores their confrontation with the question of meaning in their lives and the experiences the five stages offered them - from a return to traditional religion to an embrace of mysticism to the desire simply to do community service.

Everyone responds differently to what Dr. Moody describes as the Call. For some, it may lead back to traditional religion; for others to good works in the community; still others turn to mysticism. Those who ignore the Call are call
