Advance Acclaim for Essential Spirituality By Roger Walsh, M.D., PH.D. "Deceptively simple. Its power is rooted not only in Dr. Walsh s formidable intellectual capacity to effectively deal with a vast body of religious literature but in his own deep spiritual practices in a multitude of disciplines over many years. An important contribution." Ram Dass, author of Be Here Now "An absolute masterpiece Essential Spirituality is helpful to both the unseasoned and seasoned seeker. The writing is deep, simple, and clear yet at the same time poetic and musical. A must read." Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D., author of Love Is Letting Go of Fear "Energetic, engaged, and occasionally electrifying Roger is thoroughly grounded in actual spiritual practices, without which any writing on spiritual topics remains anemic and untrustworthy." Ken Wilber, author of One Taste and A Brief History of Everything "Groundbreaking Essential Spirituality is the first book that identifies and brings together the shared practices found in the world s religions." Angeles Arrien, Ph.D., author of The Four–Fold Way "I could not imagine a better person to write this book." Charles Taft, Ph.D., author of Waking Up "A truly groundbreaking and seminal work an invaluable guidebook for modern spiritual seekers." Stanislav Grof, M.D., author of Beyond the Brain and The Cosmic Game "Essential Spirituality is as significant as Aldous Huxley s The Perennial Philosophy and could be one of the most important books of our times. It deals with profound spiritual issues in a very clear and down–to–earth way and provides practical exercises that are simple, straightforward, and effective." Peter Russell, author of The Global Brain Awakens "A wonderful and practical overview for anyone wanting to begin a spiritual journey." Philip Moffitt, former editor of Esquire magazine

Aus dem Klappentext

Essential Spirituality "The field of spiritual books has been looking for its own Lewis Thomas or Carl Sagan, and I believe Roger Walsh may be that one." Ken Wilber, author of One Taste Based on over twenty years of research and spiritual practice, written by a man who is both a spiritual practitioner and award–winning scientist, this is a groundbreaking and life–changing book For the first time, Essential Spirituality shows how you can apply the seven practices central to all the world s major religions in your daily life. In his decades of study, Dr. Roger Walsh has discovered that each of the great spiritual traditions has both a common goal and seven common practices to reach that goal: recognizing the sacred and divine that exist both within and around us. Going beyond Care of the Soul, Essential Spirituality integrates the spiritual principles of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Taoism into one truly rewarding way of life in which kindness, love, joy, peace, vision, wisdom, and generosity become an ever–growing part of everything you do. Filled with stories, exercises, meditations, myths, case histories, prayers, and practical advice, this extraordinary book has the power to change your life now. "An engaging, inspiring synthesis of the core insights of humanity s spiritual traditions. This is a rare gem of a book a unique treasure distilled from a quarter century of deep spiritual practice and intellectual inquiry. Essential Spirituality is a book to live with and work with, filled with simple though powerful exercises that invite people to discover for themselves the truths about which Roger Walsh writes so beautifully and lovingly." Duane Elgin, author of Voluntary Simplicity
