A Philosophy Book for Modern Times

by Sharon Janis

Humorous, edgy, profound, and enlightening, SPIRITUALITY FOR DUMMIES brings modern-day spiritual seekers a view and approach to life that is universal, personal, and realistically optimistic, with the dependable style and clarity of the "For Dummies" series.

In this entertaining, and humorous guide, author Sharon Janis - who is no stranger to a vibrant spiritual journey - draws from the great wisdom of ancient and modern traditions to share powerful, poignant, and life-transforming spiritual teachings, practices, and examples, with a personal and down-to-earth flair that respects the reader's intelligence and individual journey.

User-friendly descriptions of spiritual teachings, principles and practices are brought to life with humorous anecdotes and insightful quotes from great thinkers, scriptures, and texts from many traditions. With a friendly and conversational tone, SPIRITUALITY FOR DUMMIES gives readers tools to find and enter the spiritual dimensions of their lives.

A full-length music CD in the back of every book gives a delicious taste of inspiring spiritual music, including Gregorian chanting, Buddhist texts, Jewish prayers, Christian songs, Hindu chants, Latin hymns, and gospel music sung by the author and other artists.

Dr. Christopher Key Chapple, Loyola Marymount University: “This book bridges the gap between conventional experience and the spiritual life. Spirituality for Dummies gives practical advice for entering the path of spirituality, borrowing wisdom from a host of religious, philosophical, and comedic traditions. Insightful, wise, and humorous, this book can and should be read by all, from novice to saint!"

Michael Beckwith, Agape and "The Secret": “Spirituality For Dummies is a Mecca for those who are sincerely seeking the genuine meaning and practice of spirituality. Sharon Janis fuses mystical insights drawn from the east/west approaches, resulting in a volume that opens the heart, exhilarates the mind, and inflames the soul. No matter upon which rung of the spiritual ladder you now stand, expect to be catapulted to the next level of awareness through practice of the wisdom-offerings in this scripture of Truth.”

Sacramento Bee: “You can be sure you will no longer be a dummy if you finish reading Spirituality for Dummies. This 330-page primer provides a general overview of spiritual knowledge and awareness, and offers specific spiritual exercises and principles designed to expand one's universal consciousness. Author Sharon Janis fuses mystical traditions with "new thought" to encourage individuals to see beyond mere appearances and use intuitive perceptions to comprehend the spiritual laws at work behind the outer conditions in their lives."

Village Voice: “If you feel empty inside (and not because it's been six hours since your last burrito), it might be time to search for the meaning of life in Spirituality for Dummies… Even skeptics can gain self-knowledge from the thought and visualization exercises strewn throughout the book, which demonstrate how to take a positive view of negative experiences and let go of emotional baggage—like going to a therapist, but cheaper. Janis explains meditation, yoga, and other practices in a chipper, down-to-earth style, using everyday analogies and many an exclamation point, that won't scare off the novice.”
