Lodged in a psychoanalytic sensibility, and drawing from ancient and modern religious and spiritual wisdom, this book provides the details, conceptual structures, and inner meanings of a number of easily accessible, everyday activities, including gardening, sport, drinking coffee, storytelling, and listening to music. It also suggests how to best engage these activities, to consecrate the ordinary in a way that points to experiential transcendence, or what the author calls "glimpsing immortality", a core component of the art of living the "good life".HumanityReligion and social problemsSocial actionSocial problemsHumanity.Religion and social problems.Social action.Social problems.128Marcus Paul1462996FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910788186303321Creating Heaven on Earth3712863UNINA
