Books like A religion of one's own by Moore, Thomas


In "A Religion of One's Own," author Thomas Moore expands on the ideas first presented in his bestseller "Care of the Soul." Drawing from his twelve‑year experience as a monk and his subsequent secular life, Moore explores how individuals—whether they have lived without religion or have disengaged from organized institutions—can create personal spiritual practices that enrich everyday existence. He offers a range of examples, from a former football player seeking wisdom among Pueblo Indians to a classical pianist whose performances evoke mystical moments, and discusses the value of integrating contemplative living into modern routines. The book invites readers to move beyond materialism and rationalism, fostering an amplified inner life and a sense of purpose, meaning, and reflection.
