A delightful find. Although I found it at a when the author was "lecturing" at the Church of Today, Warren, MI. Does your life yearn for more? Do you have just about everything you thought you wanted, but something important is missing? If so this book can guide you on a journey of discovery! Your rewards will be many. Most importantly, that nagging question you can never ask (who am I) will be answered. There are many books that can lead you to self-discovery. This is one. If it appeals to you: buy it NOW! If not, write; I know dozens of books (all available here at amazon.com) that will lead you there. For there are many paths to the One, all are available to you. Choose one that appeals and stick to it. Enjoy!! (Copywrite 1997 Siddheartha)

I own "Aesthetics of Change" and a few other Keeney titles. I've read each of them numerous times. I've been a fan of Keeney since the day I cracked open my Dad's copy of "Aesthetics of Change" years ago. Reading Keeney's books tends to be very enlightening.

That said, I'm not sure about "Everyday Soul". It's a fascinating read, for sure, but it is quite off-base from Keeney's more "scientific" works. Granted, this isn't a psychology book...I'm well aware of that. With all of Keeney's other books that I've read, I've been enlightened with new understanding that has a real impact on my life, so when "Everyday Soul" assumed the stance that understanding is an obstacle to spirituality, I was a bit disappointed.

I'm still giving this book 4 stars because there are plenty of typical Keeney bits of wisdom sprinkled throughout, and my own expectations lead to the disappointment I felt.
