Driven by the desire to survive and succeed, we often ignore the cravings of our souls and fail to give ourselves the nourishment we most need. In 'Losing the Weight of the World', psychologist Jonathan Kramer and writer Diane Dunaway Kramer skilfully integrate the knowledge and techniques of modern psychology with the teachings of the world's great religions to show how ordinary people, busy with the demands of jobs and families, can lead a full and enriching spiritual life. Their ten-part 'diet', based on ten principles common to all belief systems, will nurture a new spirituality in readers, whether they are Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims or followers of no specific faith. With an appealing combination of inspiring quotations from spiritual leaders, examples from everyday life and suggestions for simple practices, the authors explain how we can all balance worldly desires and goals, seek spiritual harmony and unity and discover our basic goodness.
