Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Self-help books of the last decade have treated the mind, body and spirit as three dimensions of life. Contemporary theologian and family therapist Moore perceives the soul as a fourth dimension. In Soul Mates (the sequel to Care of the Soul) Moore examines the soul and relationships, particularly ended love affairs. Moore reads with a soft, yet strong, reassuring voice. His "no-frills" delivery suits the subject matter. The result is gut-wrenching for his followers but may promote sleep in others. D.W.K. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.
From Booklist
As of this writing, therapist Moore's last book, Care of the Soul (1992), has resided upon the national best-seller lists for nearly a year. This follow-up is to be issued in a 100,000-copy first printing. As the quick-march timing between the two books might suggest, Soul Mates seems a make-hay-while-the-sun-shines rush job of empty rhetoric. Its major thesis is the coverall that people are complex and contradictory--that, as Moore says, there are too few oxymoronic words like bittersweet to describe the richness of felt experience--but that each of us has a soul that strongly desires both intimacy and the social intercourse of everyday life. Despite Moore's ability to bring many myths, some literature and art history, a smattering of therapeutic anecdotes, and references to Jungian psychology to bear upon this theme, there's precious little else to the book but the encouragement to be imaginative and open-minded in the search for intimacy. The large readership that embraced Care of the Soul will probably line up for this second helping of Moore's mildly awestruck rap, but those who want the impression, at least, of substance may find it just so much frustrating therapist's nattering.
