I'll probably look for others to read in the future. This book admits that there are many ordeals in life. To live a good life we must learn to expect and accept the "dark nights." The author advocates dealing with the "dark nights" 'not as the enemy, but as times of transition, occasions to restore yourself, and transforming rights of passage. (quoted from the book flap).' I picked this audio book up on a whim when I was feeling a bit down. I got over being down, but became really interested in the book for a number of reasons. First, the author cites a multitude of religious, philosophical and cultural sources for his discussion. I appreciated how he wove in different traditions and mythologies into the book. I had to buy a print copy, so I could keep track of all the sources I wanted to read later! The book discusses those times in our lives when we are not feeling as cheerful as society thinks we should. Moore makes a distinction between clinical depression and what he terms the dark night of the soul. He discusses different cultural solutions for depression, both current and historical, as well as the benefits of a bit of reclusiveness while we work out our issues. One thing I liked about this book was the references to various pieces of literature. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
