getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.

Writing about faith and religion daunts many authors, but Roger Walsh, a professor of psychiatry, philosophy and anthropology, succeeds with this thoughtful guide. Walsh only occasionally mentions God and the world's major religions, despite his spiritual tone and reliance on these teachings. He deploys common theologies to appeal to the universal desire for a peaceful inner life, awareness, goodness and happiness. His seven practices "to awaken the heart and mind" are simple and effective. You will find nuggets of wisdom plus exercises for finding a quiet place in a busy day or a moment of peace in a storm of stress. getAbstract believes spiritual seekers will enjoy Walsh's philosophy and recommends his treatise to mid-level managers seeking meaning in their work, to executives facing burnout, and to anyone searching for purpose and peace.
