    About this audiobook

    #1 New York Times Bestseller • More than 1.5 Million Copies Sold

    Thomas Moore's now classic work provides a powerful spiritual message for our troubled times.

    In Care of the Soul readers are presented with a revolutionary approach to thinking about daily life—everyday activities, events, problems and creative opportunities—and a therapeutic lifestyle is proposed that focuses on looking more deeply into emotional problems and learning how to sense sacredness in even ordinary things.

    Basing his writing on the ancient model of ""care of the soul""—which provided a religious context for viewing the everyday events of life—Moore brings ""care of the soul"" into the 21st century. Promising to deepen and broaden the reader's perspective on his or her own life experiences, Moore draws on his own life as a therapist practicing ""care of the soul,"" as well as his studies of the world's religions and his work in music and art, to create this inspirational guide that examines the connections between spirituality and the problems of individuals and society.

      Funny that this looks like a good read right now...can't figure why. I have had this book for several years and it always looked too mystical, like it would be quite impossible to relate to. Now, I have copied three pages of quote already and I am still in chapter one. It promises to look through the Renaissance window a lot, and refer to mythology, but still, I am rather enamored with it at this point. It makes me feel calm. Does that make sense.?

      This book changed my life. I met Thomas Moore and was as impressed by him as his work.

      It was so boring that it put me to sleep.
    • 3/5
      Although a best-seller in its day, time has not been kind to the writing in this book as today the prose sounds preachy, redundant, and too ethereal. It is part of the literary genre of existence as illness. As stated in the first sentence of the Introduction by Thomas Moore, "The great malady of the twentieth century, ... ", sees that century, or probably any century for that matter, and plain existence, as plagued and sick. Well, call me Ishmael too.

      I read this book during my adult college days and it has become the focus or beginning point for me studying today's new spirituality. We are so far removed from the natural rhythm and the basics of life/living that we forget to just Be and remember what is truly vital and real to our experiences as human beings.Thomas Moore is a deep, reverant person and his writings allow us to see the sacredness in our everyday beingg and give us the incentive to try and allow the sacred to emerge and be honored as it does so.

      A good book for anyone involved in personal soul work.
    • 5/5
      A truly remarkable book! Reading this book can change your life. It can make your life richer, help you remember your dreams, and prepare you to face death. Makes one realize how empty a world can be when one fails to nourish the soul. Along with Victor Frankel's book _Man's Search for Meaning_, this book should be essential reading for everyone who feels overwhelmed by the existential condition.

      This book showed me a quite new insight on depression that’s worth exploring deeper into. I’m always looking into learning more of the human psyche and the conscious intentional practices that can lead us and those around us, to a better life; with more meaning and freedom from fear and the illusion of separation.

      I read this book years ago but I frequently remember stories and examples from it. One of the major insights that I gained from Thomas Moore is that there is a value to depression/sadness and that the only way out of it is to really go into it. I feel that reading this book helped me to deal with many events that came afterwards in a much more present way. There's much more to be said about this book but I've have to re-read it first!
