Book in Progress
I’m currently writing a book exploring the electrifying role of spirituality in creating resilience, motivation, and the capacity for growth and change, even during the most difficult periods of our lives. The book reviews the empirical evidence associating spiritual identity, meaning, and purpose with health, longevity, and well-being. It also discusses these foundational spiritual dimensions in regard to emotional dysfunction, suicide, and addiction, and it suggests steps the reader can take to develop a stronger spiritual core. In sum, the book is squarely aimed at helping religious and non-religious readers alike develop deep-seated confidence, strength, and motivation as they encounter significant challenges in their lives. I’ll post updates about the book’s progress and, as it nears publication, information on how to order copies.
