America is experiencing a profound spiritual crisis, with many seeking meaning through traditional religions, new cults, self-help books, and various fads. Bill Moyers has described this quest for spirituality as "the biggest story" of our time. Sam Keen, a bestselling author, tackles this crisis by offering a practical guide to infusing spirituality into daily life. He uses personal anecdotes to help readers navigate what he terms "spiritual bullshit" and rediscover the sacred in love, family, work, and politics, ultimately seeking the "Unknown God." Keen, a well-educated social commentator and philosopher, has been featured in a Bill Moyers PBS interview and served as a consulting editor at Psychology Today for over two decades. He addresses the challenge of discerning valid beliefs in a world filled with quick fixes and false spiritual leaders. Keen also explores the intricate relationship between sex and spirituality, discussing the tension between desire and morality, and how to harmonize sensuality with spirituality for deeper connections. Furthermore, he offers over a dozen suggestions for personal rituals that can help individuals recognize the sacred in their lives, such as creating a private sanctuary, dedicating time for deep reflection, and designating personal celebration days.
