Místo nich poodhaluje, jak mohou muži najít vlastní cestu k porozumění jedinečným mužským mystériím i procesu, pomocí něhož opět objevujeme novou vitalitu a mužnost. Ty poté prostoupí každý aspekt našeho života. Kniha předkládá nový pohled na muže v práci, při hře, ve válce i ve věcech lásky. Jde v ní o posun od narušenosti k celistvosti, o pěstování péče o druhé a o uspokojivé vztahy mezi přáteli i v rodině. Dosud nikdy nehledalo tolik mužů nové role, postoje a způsoby existence. V této silné a posilující knize Sam Keen převypravuje moderním způsobem starodávný příběh hledání, co to znamená být mužem – mužem s žárem v těle a vášní v srdci.
There is no doubt that America is in the midst of a spiritual crisis. Millions of people are trying to find meaning in their lives by returning to old-time religions, or by seeking out new cults, fads, channelers, 12-step programs, and self-help books. Bill Moyers has called this search for spirituality "the biggest story -- not only of the decade but of the century." Now, Sam Keen, the New York Times bestselling author of Fire in the Belly , addresses this crisis and provides a blueprint for bringing spirituality into everyday life in Hymns to an Unknown Awakening the Spirit in Everyday Life .Using practical examples from his and other people's lives, Keen tells readers how to cut through what he calls the "spiritual bullshit," and recover the sacred in their love affairs, families, jobs, and politics -- in short, how to recover the "Unknown God." Down-to-earth and articulate, Sam Keen is a popular social commentator, philosopher, and teacher. He describes himself as "overeducated at the Ivies," with degrees from Harvard and Princeton. His work has been featured in a special Bill Moyers PBS interview, and for over twenty years he was a consulting editor at Psychology Today .How to Use Your Spiritual Bullshit In a world of one-minute solutions, false spiritual leaders, and instant spirituality, how can you tell which beliefs are valid and separate the bogus from the genuine.Sex and the Why is it that sex and spirituality are so interconnected and confusing? Keen explains the conflict between "I want" and "I should," and tells readers how to integrate sensuality, sexuality and spirituality to experience truly deep and loving relationships.Consecrating Our Rituals for Keen gives more than a dozen suggestions for personal rituals to remind readers of the sacredness in their everyday lives, including creating a private place as a personal sanctuary, learning to make time to think deeply, setting aside personal days as times of celebration, and more.
The bestselling author of Fire in the Belly--the classic guide to men's psychology and spirituality--turns his attention to men's and women's search for meaning in a new book that charts a course for living a spiritual life in troubled times. Keen cuts through the conceits, self-deceptions, and crises of faith to lay bare the core of what makes an authentic spirituality.

Exploring the Geography of Your Emotions
The author of the New York Times bestseller Fire in the Belly guides us on an enlightening journey across the emotional landscape of our own inner psyches. Using self-tests and practical advice, Inward Bound teaches us to master the art of emotional literacy—how to understand what our minds and bodies are really telling us through the ups and downs of our emotions. Paying special attention to “negative” emotions such as fatigue, depression, grief, and especially boredom—the undiagnosed disease from which most “normal” people suffer—Sam Keen shows us how the low periods in our lives can actually be the impetus for the most profound and lasting change. While most people deny emotional lows in the hopes that they will go away; eat, drink, or tranquilize themselves; take mood elevators; or otherwise fill their time with empty activities, Keen instead teaches us how to re-vision negative emotions as positive way stations on the path to self-discovery. In Inward Bound , Keen shows us how to recover the full spectrum of our feelings and points the reader on a journey to greater health, intimacy, vitality, and a renewed joy in life.
