A thoughtful and heartfelt examination of the sources and consequences of the alienation we feel when our inner and outer lives become divorced from each other, when external forces pressure us to depart from our soul's true yearnings.
The recent and devastating duplicities in business, religion, and politics have less to do with a "failure of ethics" than with a lack of integrity and wholeness. This book lifts up the problem of the "divided life," diagnoses its sources, assesses its personal and social costs, and offers a model of community that will help people live with greater integrity and wholeness.
