Su questo libro

Recensione:

"In The New American Spirituality, Elizabeth Lesser validates our spiritual hunger, offering us the clarity to separate what will nourish it from what will not. This is a book for anyone who wants to read their own spiritual story more clearly and find the inner compass that can lead them home."            
--Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D.,  author of Kitchen Table Wisdom

"Those who are looking for an uncharted way of living their beliefs will find The New American Spirituality a guiding light. Elizabeth Lesser's book defines what many have longed to see in print--a new Varieties of Religious Experience one hundred years after William James. This is a courageous book in which the author doesn't spare her own leaps of faith and dark moments of the soul, even as she encounters some of the great luminaries of our times."
--Phil Jackson, former coach of the Chicago Bulls and author of Sacred Hoops

"The New American Spirituality: A Seeker's Guide is a dynamic tale of the search for the true self. As one of the primary founders of growth centers in America, Elizabeth Lesser has had a profound influence on the development of the spiritual movement in this country. Follow her trail to your heart."
--Stephen and Ondrea Levine, authors of Who Dies?, Healing into Life and Death, and A Year to Live
