About this product
Product Information
Written as a concise handbook, this Practical Guide presents a novel paradigm for addressing the enduring questions of our existence, while providing a roadmap to the rational pursuit of spirituality in contemporary life. Approaching our spiritual development as one would any experimental science, Bahram Elahi, MD, describes the nature of the human soul, or self, through a series of original diagrams and functional analogies to medicine, psychology, and physics. In so doing, he introduces a new medicine of the soul that not only establishes how to nourish and develop the soul through the practice of correct divine and ethical principles, but also how to diagnose and treat its various ailments. Explaining the purpose of our presence on earth as the completion of the first stage in our spiritual development, he summarizes this fundamental work in three main points: examining and mending one's faith, sufficiently developing one's sound reason, and cultivating one's humanity. Ultimately, this timely Practical Guide offers readers of all backgrounds an accessible roadmap to our spiritual journey that is adapted to life in modern society.

Reviews
"...offers thoughtful answers to the persistent questions of humanity, such as 'For what purpose are we here?' and 'Where do we go after this world?' In a world in which too many spiritual leaders fail to practice the lofty ideals they preach, this book's focus on intentional actions is more than welcome. A refreshing prioritization of ethical living." -- Kirkus Reviews
