According to the Pew Research Center, approximately 37 percent of Americans identify themselves as spiritual but not religious. How to Be Spiritual Without Being Religious is a book for that sizeable number of folks who seek a rich and authentic interior life but find formal religious affiliation unappealing. It is a clear and nondogmatic guide for finding one’s own path of transformation, for embracing a vision of a “practical faith” that enhances a life of happiness and peace. Miller’s concise approach arises out of what he calls “the spirituality of ordinary life.” It is an approach dedicated to exploring the big questions: “Why am I here?” “Who am I?” “What is the best way to be of use.” And, in this warm and practical book, he outlines four steps for achieving the goal of a nonreligious spirituality: releasing guilt, gathering trust, practicing patience and learning transcendence.
