On good days, it’s easy to rise above Earth School’s everyday pain and irritations. But how quickly we hit bottom when love goes wrong. Or when we’re trapped in the traffic jam of the century. Streetwise Spirituality offers readers the tools to turn troubling forks in the road, large and small, into valuable growth opportunities. These tools—patience, perseverance, and adaptability—help identify the self-defeating beliefs and fears that squeeze the life out of our lives. Readers learn how a desire for perfection keeps them feeling dissatisfied and angry. How trying to please someone else always backfires. And why it’s so hard to get others to change. Streetwise Spirituality’s compelling, true stories and carefully crafted exercises look at blame, shame, spin, and the thousand ways we disconnect. The book encourages active partnership with the innermost self. It shows why a spiritual perspective is not only relevant but necessary on the road toward meaning and joy.
