- Summary:
- "According to the Pew Research Center, approximately 37 percent of Americans identify themselves as spiritual but not religious. How to Be Spiritual Without Being Religious is a book for that sizable number of folks who seek a rich and authentic interior life but find formal religious affiliation unappealing. It is a clear and nondogmatic guide for finding one's own path of transformation, for embracing a vision of a "practical faith" that enhances a life of happiness and peace. Miller's concise approach arises out of what he calls 'the spirituality of ordinary life.' It is an approach dedicated to exploring the big questions: 'Why am I here?' 'Who am I?' 'What is the best way to be of use?' And it is an approach that encourages seekers to gather trust, release guilt, practice patience, and learn transcendence."--Back cover.
