Two decades ago, Thomas Moore's Care of the Soul offered guidance for readers yearning to bring spirituality into their everyday lives. Here the former friar expands on ideas that he explored after leaving the Severite order, recounting both the joys of contemplative living and the more personal and imaginative spirituality that he later developed in his secular life. Moore shares stories of others creating their own paths—a former football player on a spiritual quest with the Pueblo Indians, a friend who meditates while making floral arrangements—and the wisdom of philosophers, writers, and artists who have infused their secular lives with transcendence.
