Product Description

This book is written for those who ask difficult questions: What is the nature of human reality? What is the purpose of human life? What is love? What is reality? What is the secret of happiness? Do we have free will? Is transcendence real?

Through case histories, in-depth analysis, and practical examples, The Psychology of Spirituality offers new ways of addressing these and other important questions. The Psychology of Spirituality demonstrates that life can, in fact, be good, happy, and fruitful, and that we human beings are, indeed, noble beings only if we knew.

5.0 out of 5 stars Danesh generates thought and reflection, February 2, 2001
The book seems to offer new insight into the apparent conflict between the material and spiritual self. I enjoyed the introduction where the author looked at the material philosophies of life such as Skinner, Marx, Freud, and Sartre.

On the surface, it is an easy read, but upon reflection it touches on many of the "heavy" issues that have challenged individuals in a search for "who am I and why am I here". It has the potential to be a base line for a "spiritual" based reference to life vs. the traditional "material" reference to life.

The book is good in that it generates thought and reflection. I've found myself rereading passages to see if a second wave of thought might be launched.

5.0 out of 5 stars A spiritual outlook can transform your life..., December 2, 1999
By Robin Cain (Fort Worth, TX, USA) - See all my reviews
The Psychology of Spirituality may sound like a daunting topic, but Danesh organizes the book from the simplest, most understandable concepts of love and self. Using examples from his clinical experiences, he demonstrates how faith uplifts and heals the soul. This book is thought provoking and inspiring for any readers interested in these topics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why not a best seller?, March 26, 2002
By A Customer
Just ordered a third copy to give to a friend. This book makes the complex process of "why life" easier to understand. The analysis of death of self from this existance and birth into a new reality will help anyone concerned with the process of death, either self or loved one.

Why not a best seller? However, if I read the Amazon sales figures correctly, at least a quarter million copies have been sold...so it seems to be of interest to a small but growing number of readers.

Forever Jung....: - )

2.0 out of 5 stars Deceptively Bland
Frankly I was shocked by the wild assumptions made within this book.

Although it delves into reasonably decent case studies, the author tends to ramble off on tangents, taking... Read more
