The Sacred Ego: Making Peace with Ourselves and Our World

The Sacred Ego: Making Peace with Ourselves and Our World (Sacred Activism)

Why have we failed to create the happy, peaceful world that we all want? And what can we do about it?Â For more than three decades, Jalaja Bonheim has explored these questions in her work with women leaders, activists, and spiritual seekers from around the world.

InÂ The Sacred Ego, she tackles one of the core myths of popular spiritual cultureâ€”the myth of the ego, supposedly responsibleÂ for our greed, selfishness, and violence. In contrast, Bonheim approaches the ego as a sacred function worthy of honor and gratitude. With riveting stories from her work, she guides us into the depths of our collective psyche to pinpoint the real sources of our problems and illuminate our path to wholeness. Firmly grounded in a lifetime of practical experience,Â TheÂ Sacred EgoÂ is a visionary, uplifting book that explains why our world is in crisis and how we can support the unprecedented transformational process thatâ€™s underway.
