Psychologist, attorney, and philosopher Faith Lynella presents How to Survive a Spiritual Hangover: A Practical Guide to Holding Steady in a Wobbly World, a guide to enriching one's own wisdom, creativity, and spiritual growth. Chapters address how to become aware of and disengage from mindless habits; the power of "high-vibration energy"; how to kindle energy within oneself; reexamining one's connections to people and daily obligations; the importance of contributing to community building; and much more. "Enjoyment and a good attitude are opposites. Who could be sincere about a counterfeit reward? The more things you have a good attitude about, the more things you really don't get to enjoy. So, don't be so proud of having a good attitude - it's not the right answer. It is partly right (bad attitude is also not the right answer), but it's simply not enough."
Highly recommended for emotional and spiritual self-help shelves.
First Reader reviews on Amazon.com
This is a book that can help people who are lost in the storm of life, confused by the illusions that trick us into believing that the difficulties of the world are insurmountable.
Two members of my household have found this book an irreplaceable boon of wisdom and common sense, a transfusion of optimisim that safeguards life when all else fails.
One does not need to worry about anything when the bigger picture is realized - and this book helps open the reader up to this inner realization.
I give it six stars. [out of a possible 5]
