Rav Michael Laitman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 17, 2006

Kabbalah Revealed: The Ordinary Person’s Guide to a More Peaceful Life is a clearly-written, user-friendly guide to making sense of the surrounding world while achieving inner peace. Each of the six chapters in this book focuses on a different aspect of the ancient wisdom of Kabbalah, shedding new light on a teaching that has too often been shrouded in mystery and misconceptions. A subtle, yet profound idea weaves the book’s chapters into a coherent and concrete whole.
The first three chapters in Kabbalah Revealed tell us why the present world is in a state of crisis, explaining how our growing desires promote progress as well as alienation, and why the biggest deterrent to achieving positive change is rooted in our own spirits.
Chapters Four through Six offer a prescription for positive change. Therein, we learn how we can use our spirits to build a personally peaceful life in harmony with all of Creation.
For the first time ever, the timeless principles of Kabbalah are explained for a general readership by a world-renowned scholar of Kabbalah—Rav Michael Laitman, PhD. For those seeking to achieve transformational change on a personal, communal or global level, Kabbalah Revealed is required reading.

Michael Laitman is the founder and president of the Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education & Research Institute, which is dedicated to teaching and sharing the wisdom of Kabbalah. Professor of Ontology, PhD in Philosophy and Kabbalah, and MSc in bio-Cybernetics. Father of three and grandfather of three.

Dr. Laitman has received the unlikely distinction of being today's foremost authority on authentic Kabbalah.

He is the author of The Complete Idiots Guide to Kabbalah, as well as thirty other books on the subject published in fourteen languages. In his book, From Chaos to Harmony, written in 2005 - long before the current financial crisis erupted - he laid out in detail, what would cause it, the positive purpose the crisis would serve, and what change people would need to undergo to solve it.
A warm engaging personality, with a down-to-earth concern for others, Dr. Laitman spends his every waking hour writing, teaching and traveling the world to dialog and exchange ideas, taking insights from these encounters to bring the knowledge of nature's general law of love and interdependence down to a practical everyday level, where it's needed most - in the family, education, science, commerce and the arts. His goal is to empower individuals to connect and quickly influence change in human behavior, matching the challenge of the new world we all now face.

This review is from: Kabbalah Revealed: The Ordinary Person's Guide to a More Peaceful Life (Paperback)

Kabbalah Revealed is a book about authentic Kabbalah and this book is for anyone who has ever questioned what is the meaning of life? is there a purpose to all this? what is my relationship with God? This is an introductory book that is easy to read and understand. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is really beginning to struggle with all that is going on in this ever fast paced existence and is greatly concerned to where it is all heading and is there a remedy. There is a remedy and you will probably find that Kabbalah is not what you think.
