‘An essential book about the transformative power of a grounded spiritual life’ Jack Canfield, internationally bestselling author of Chicken Soup for the Soul
‘This wonderful blend of science and spirituality provides a clear path to finding deeper meaning and joy in life. A beautiful read’ Marci Shimoff, No.1 New York Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason
In this ground-breaking book, psychologist and mindfulness meditation teacher Susannah Healy reveals the evidence-basis for the value of spirituality in all aspects of our lives. She examines the place of spirituality in a culture that values individualism and left-brained thinking, and delves into the psychological research that shows that it is in self-transcendence — the conscious service of others and the world — that true happiness lies.
Gently guiding the reader through millennia of spiritual teachings in the world faith traditions, Susannah expands the vision of God from the Western ‘old man in the sky’ image into something less literal, which can ultimately give meaning to all. She shows how we can apply this to all aspects of our life, including relationships, parenting, career and recreation, for our greater good and that of society as a whole.
With meditations, simple exercises and case studies, The Seven-Day Soul is a book of gentle wisdom to live by.
