Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Bonder (The Kabbalah of Money, Shambhala, 1996) examines the structure of envy, hatred, and other negative emotions, using illustrations from the Old Testament and Jewish mystical texts in his detailed analysis of the subtleties of harmful energies and the role these play in human relations. He shows how destructive impulses can be harnessed for self-transformation and peaceful reconciliation. This fascinating study offers a uniquely Jewish perspective on the Christian imperative to "love thy neighbor as thyself."

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfull book!! Read it, dont envy it!, February 21, 2005

By	A. Olmo (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book by Rabbi Nilton Bonder is a most fascinating and enlightening read indeed on the subject of envy. I bought and read this book a few years ago, and I recently came across it again in my collection of books and reaquainted myself with it by rereading it once more. Turned out to be as fresh and interesting the second time around as it was in the first.

Ok on to what the book is actually about. In the Kabbalah of Envy the author explores the devasting effects of Envy, one of the 7 deadly sins. In wonderful anecdotes and stories Rabbi Bonder, illustrates just how envy pollutes the heart and clouds one's mind and soul.

From his own words Rabbi Bonder quotes:
"Envy, is a vampire who feeds not on his own vitality but on that of others." Like anger, gossip, and negative emotions, it "pollutes the heart." He gives words of wisdom and practical advice and spiritual exercises one can follow to purge and free yourself from the yoke of this terrible emotion, or at least to help lessen it's effects on your life and the effects of one's own envy in relation to those around him or her.

This is a great book in learning about, and trying to cope with a emotion that can be twice as much destructive as pure hate alone and is responsible for so much discord and discontent in this world of ours it's not funny. You will be suprised to see yourself in many of the stories included here. The trick is not to be guilty or aghast about it, the trick is to do SOMETHING about it. A awesome book for one to help one's own self and hopefully others. You may never look at things the same again after this amazing book.
