The Spirit of Spinoza: Healing the MInd

The Spirit of Spinoza: Healing the MInd

BENEDICT SPINOZA was a 17th century philosopher and spiritual psychotherapist. This intellectual self-help book provides important insights from Spinozaâ‚¬s system of thought in a format accessible to the general reader, as well as to those already familiar with his philosophy. By applying his method to our personal lives, we may free ourselves from bondage to our lower emotions and habitual behaviors and thus begin to enjoy the â‚¬Å“continuous, supreme, and unending happinessâ‚¬Â promised by Spinoza.

â‚¬Å“I believe in Spinozaâ‚¬s God who reveals Himself in the orderly harmony of what existsâ‚¬Â¦â‚¬Â â‚¬" Albert Einstein

â‚¬Å“Those of us who came of age in the twentieth century were taught that we must adopt a crazy-making strategy of compartmentalizing our lives, putting our rational, scientific side into one corner and our psychological/spiritual side in another. The precarious state of our world is evidence enough that this approach to life is a destructive dead end. You are holding an effective alternative in your hand. 'The Spirit of Spinoza' is a brilliant treatise that has been field-tested by Professor Neal Grossman in his own life and that of his students over decades. This book is a masterstroke by a master teacher about a master philosopher. It is also delightfully dangerous, for it has the power to shift oneâ‚¬s life onto a new axis, where it becomes possible to blend knowledge and wisdom into an experience that can best be described, quite simply, as waking up.â‚¬Â â‚¬" Larry Dossey, MD, author of "One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and
Why It Matters"

â‚¬Å“A beautiful book that brings Spinoza to life in the present age.â‚¬Â â‚¬" Claudine Wilhelmi Grange, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

â‚¬Å“Dr. Grossmanâ‚¬s overall philosophical take on the meaning of life is probably the most profound I have ever readâ‚¬Â¦.If you read this book carefully and with an open mind, it will change the way you relate to yourself, to others, and to the universe as a whole.â‚¬Â â‚¬" Allan Bodkin, Psy.D, author of "Induced After-Death Communication: A New Therapy for Healing Grief and Trauma"
