Thomas Moore Bücher

Warum wählen wir im Zweifel lieber befestigte Wege statt Trampelpfade? Warum finden Ameisen scheinbar mühelos ihren Weg durch unbekanntes Terrain? Und warum haben Lebewesen überhaupt begonnen, sich von einem Ort fortzubewegen? Als Robert Moor den Appalachian Trail entlangwanderte und endlose Kilometer auf den Weg vor seinen Füßen starrte, trieb ihn mehr und mehr die Frage um, warum es überhaupt so etwas wie Wege gibt und wie sie entstehen. Er reiste sieben Jahre lang rund um den Globus, beschritt große Routen ebenso wie schmale Cherokee-Pfade – und setzte sich der Wildnis aus. Seine eigenen Erlebnisse verbindet er aufschlussreich mit Erkenntnissen aus Wissenschaft, Geschichte und Philosophie. Ein inspirierendes erzählendes Sachbuch, ein wunderbares Stück Nature Writing, eine Entdeckung! – Aus diesem Buch »geht« man anders heraus, als man eingetreten ist.

Die eigene Seele wahrnehmen und ihre Bedürfnisse achten – mit dieser Botschaft wahrer Lebenshilfe hat Thomas Moore, Theologe, Psychotherapeut und Best-sellerautor mit internationalem Renommee, ein Millionenpublikum begeistert. Zugang zu unserer spirituellen Seite finden wir, indem wir das eigene Menschsein liebevoll annehmen und uns vom Zwang willkürlich vorgegebener Normen und Ideale befreien. So gewinnt alles im Leben tiefe Bedeutung: Geschichten, Mythen, Bilder und Träume; selbst die kleinen täglichen Rituale können der Seele Nahrung geben. Die Sorge um die eigene Seele schenkt Ganzheit und inneren Frieden, eröffnet dem Heiligen, nach dem wir uns immer wieder sehnen, im ganz Alltäglichen neuen Raum und führt in die Freiheit gelingenden Lebens. Thomas Moore gehört mit diesem Buch zu den Pionieren einer neuen Psychologie, die der Spiritualität einen wesentlichen und positiven Einfluss auf unser Seelenleben zuspricht.

The Planets Within asks us to return to antiquity with new eyes. It centers on one of the most psychological movements of the prescientific age -- Renaissance Italy, where a group of 'inner Columbuses' charted territories that still give us today a much- needed sense of who we are and where we have come from, and the right routes to take toward fertile and unexplored places.Chief among these masters of the interior life was Marsilio Ficino, presiding genius of the Florentine Academy, who taught that all things exist in soul and must be lived in its light. This study of Ficino broadens and deepens our understanding of psyche, for Ficino was a doctor of soul, and his insights teach us the care and nurture of soul.Moore takes as his guide Ficino's own fundamental tool -- imagination. Respecting the integrity and autonomy of images, The Planets Within unfolds a poetics of soul in a kind of dialogue between the laconic remarks of Ficino and the need to give these remarks a life and context for our day.

'I see The Soul's Religion as a necessary and important part two of Care of the Soul, not repeating what I wrote there but adding what was missing - a clear and forthright discussion of the spiritual life.' Thomas MooreIn the international bestseller Care of the Soul Thomas Moore laid the foundation for a new approach to spirituality. schovat popis

Something essential is missing from modern life. Many who've turned away from religious institutions-and others who have lived wholly without religion-hunger for more than what contemporary secular life has to offer but are reluctant to follow organized religion's strict and often inflexible path to spirituality. In A Religion of One's Own, bestselling author and former monk Thomas Moore explores the myriad possibilities of creating a personal spiritual style, either inside or outside formal religion

The New York Times bestselling author of the classic The Care of the Soul addresses the needs of those providing soul care to others--therapists, psychiatrists, ministers, spiritual directors, teachers, and even friends--sharing his insights for incorporating a spiritual or soulful dimension into their work and practices. Soul Therapy is the culmination of Thomas Moore's work. In his previous acclaimed books, he explored the soul in important areas of our lives--work, sex, marriage, family, religion, and aging. In this wise guide, he now returns to his core vocation: teaching practitioners--therapists, psychiatrists, ministers, spiritual directors, and others--how to offer soul care to those they assist. A training manual infused with a lifetime's worth of wisdom, Soul Therapy is divided into five sections: What therapy or "soul care" is and how it works; What soul work is required of the helper to be able to address the needs of others; How to access and move forward the spiritual dimension; How to apply this work to specific areas, such as work, marriage, parenting, or teaching; How to deal with other issues that arise, such as developing a therapeutic style, dealing with one's shadow, and the need for self-care. Profound yet practical, enlightened yet grounded in real-world experience, Soul Therapy will become a definitive resource for caregivers and practitioners for years to come.

A 'dark night of the soul' is not a psychological syndrome, but a quest for meaning during life's darkest hours: the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, ageing and illness, career disappointments or just an ongoing dissatisfaction with life. Thomas Moore's extensive experience as a psychologist and theologian has taught him that the dark night is a challenge to restore ourselves and to become someone of substance, depth and soul. By using these trying times as an opportunity to reflect and delve into the soul's deepest needs, we can find a new understanding of life's meaning. Dark Nights of the Soul has its roots in a favourite chapter in Thomas Moore's million copy bestseller, Care of the Soul. In this beautifully-written and thought-provoking work he explores our contemporary anxieties and insecurities and shows how these metaphoric dark nights can become transforming rites of passage.
