Customer Reviews

One of the greats from Thomas Moore.

This is a good book. Many useful ideas can be found in it. Moore is a master of Religious Studies thinking and he writes from a wise, mature space. Dr. Moore has a wonderful sense of history and how we can learn from it. I really enjoyed it and would reccomend it for illuminating reading.

DESCUBRIR LO CONOCIDO

En una sociedad donde la pérdida de la fantasía está matando el espíritu del hombre, surge un libro que se atreve a hablar del alma en la naturaleza y en la cultura, y de la recuperación del asombro en nuestra vida diaria. El encantamiento es un poder del alma, una condición que nos permite conectarnos amorosa e íntimamente con el mundo que habitamos y con la gente que compone nuestra familia y nuestra comunidad. El alma humana tiene una necesidad absoluta e inexorable de encantamiento.Thomas Moore nos invita, a través de estas páginas, a explorar nuestra vida cotidiana -en el trabajo, la naturaleza, los negocios, el hogar- y redescubrir todo lo que ella tiene de sagrado y maravilloso. (Ed. Sudamericana)

A Gentle-No Promises Prescription for the Ills of this Life

In this book, Moore builds on the material expressed in his earlier books, Care of the Soul and Soul-Mates, by considering the essentials of art, culture and society. A thought-provoking and re-energising read, without overt self-disclosure, false pretensions or weak, misguided self-illusions. Moore skillfully weaves his own special web of spiritual significance that stretches beyond our culture itself: by going straight to the centre of all human experience. An intellectually modest, yet soulfully rigorous book that is still highly capable of having literary and philosophical relevance to even the simplest of considerations. It's also a great interpretation of much of our long-forgotten human thought and endeavours from our past, present and the future, as well as allows you to realistically think about your own, unique cherished experiences yet to come.

Life changing...incredibly spiritual...

This book reaffirmed instincts I have held sacred since childhood, and encouraged me in the legitamacy of my own unique experience of God, life, nature, and "enchantment". --I might agree that the writing is not always the highest quality. This is my first introduction to T.M....if his other books are *better*, I CAN'T WAIT!

Loved It!

After having never gotten around to Moore's previous best sellers, I finally bought this one. I enjoyed it very much, and found much to savor. It is NOT a book to read through all at once; rather, it's a smorgasbord that I have found myself musing on, reflecting on, and returning to again and again.
