Description

Reclaiming the Sacred draws on the work of thousands of psychologists and economists, cosmologists and activists, saints and poets, to ground us in our inherent joy, purpose, and belonging-both for our own sakes and the sake of the world.

The journey begins with a look at what science reveals about the things that most nourish human well-being-and some that do not, most notably money and possessions. It then explores the profound consequences materialism has for each of us and the world, most critically the global climate crisis. And then it goes beyond all of that, diving into the very heart of ourselves and the world, by charting a path-both scientific and mystical-for reclaiming the inherent joy and richness of ourselves and this wondrous world.

This book elevates our existence, and lays a critical foundation for transcending this most critical era in human history.
