This New York Times bestseller (more than 200,000 hardcover copies sold) provides a path-breaking lifestyle handbook that shows how to add spirituality, depth, and meaning to modern-day life by nurturing the soul....

"Every human life is made up of the light and the dark, the happy and the sad, the vital and the deadening. How you think about this rhythm of moods makes all the difference."

Our lives are filled with emotional tunnels: the loss of a loved one or end of a relationship, aging and illness, career disappointments or just an ongoing sense of dissatisfaction with life. Society tends to view these "dark nights" in clinical terms as obstacles to be overcome as quickly as possible. But Moore shows how honoring these periods of fragility as periods of incubation and positive opportunities to delve the soul’s deepest needs can provide healing and a new understanding of life’s meaning. Dark Nights of the Soul presents these metaphoric dark nights not as the enemy, but as times of transition, occasions to restore yourself, and transforming rites of passage, revealing an uplifting and inspiring new outlook on such topics as:

- The healing power of melancholy
- The sexual dark night and the mysteries of matrimony
- Finding solace during illness and in aging
- Anxiety, anger, and temporary Insanities
- Linking creativity, spirituality, and emotional struggles
- Finding meaning and beauty in the darkness...

He aqui un libro para nuestro tiempo: un manual para la practica de un estilo de vida que nos propone cultivar el alma como una manera de dar profundidad y significado a nuestras vidas. El antiguo modelo de ""cuidado del alma"", cuyas raices se hundian en la religion, proporcionaba un contexto para la vision de los momentos ordinarios de la vida. Thomas Moore nos trae ""el cuidado del alma"" al siglo XX utilizando sus conocimientos de psicologia, mitologia, arte y religion, ademas de su experiencia como terapeuta que practica en su consulta ""el cuidado del alma"". Nos presenta tambien la historia de algunos de sus casos como una manera de hacer mas accesible esta guia, y ofrecernos asi la posibilidad de profundizar y ampliar la vision de nuestras propias experiencias vitales. / This New York Times bestseller (more than 200,000 hardcover copies sold) provides a path-breaking lifestyle handbook that shows how to add spirituality, depth, and meaning to modern-day life by nurturing the soul....
