In THE POWER OF MODERN SPIRITUALITY, William Bloom identifies for the first time the core strategies found at the heart of all spiritual traditions and explains how everyone – regardless of background, beliefs or personality type – can develop them and immediately put them into practice. He structures his book around the key areas of connection, reflection and service, showing us how to recognise and develop these aspects of ourselves in the context of today’s challenges and crises so that we gain greater meaning and purpose in our lives.

Written in a lively, intelligent and inspiring style, and drawn from Bloom’s popular courses and workshops, it will help you to go more deeply into yourself and develop a greater sense of personal integrity, inner strength, a stronger connection with friends, family and colleagues, an increased sense of personal joy and of being in the driving seat of your life, and much more.

Reviews

‘This is a milestone book ? it marks a new era in human development. William Bloom has taken on the huge challenge of defining post-modern spirituality and pulled it off with aplomb’
Brilliant, erudite, intellectually delightful, practical, logical, honest...In an age of beliefs which are often ill-formed, misguided, self-serving and nonsensical, this book succeeds in making sense of the word "spirituality" and applying it lucidly to our lives. William saves not only our souls but our hearts and brains too. Read it and buy one for everyone you know ... Everyone who calls themselves "spiritual" should read this book so they know what they are talking about. This book will bankrupt me because I want to buy one for everyone I know' Isabel Losada, author The Battersea Park Road to Enlightenment

‘William Bloom's excellent book succeeds in being both passionate and solidly grounded in experience. The frequent accusation that the emerging spirituality of our times is superficial and ill-disciplined will be difficult to sustain in the light of this

This is a marvellous book full of practical wisdom and helpful suggestions of how to nurture spiritual growth in everyday life.
