Is the modern West lost in a crisis of meaning? Or are events like those surrounding the death of Princess Diana, signs of something else? Could they be the expressions of the drive to find a myth we can all believe in?Ego and Soul is an engaging and lucid look at where Western society is heading as we approach the new millennium. Modern preoccupations such as work, sport, computers, cars, and the celebrity cults of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley are sifted through classical themes as John Carroll finds evidence we are in our everyday lives inhaling that deepening sacred breath.
