DescriptionAlthough much has been made of our return to spiritual values, much of the ancient tradition has been lost to the modern world. Renowned self-help expert John Bradshaw discusses our present spiritual crisis - and offers highly practical, immensely rewarding remedies. Bradshaw discusses how ancient spirituality centered around natural shame, an acceptance of our limitations, and belief that we can never achieve the power of God. In contrast, our current obsession with perfectionism has created what he calls toxic shame, a deeply painful struggle against our flaws. Using a combination of Bradshaw's philosophical and theological resources, The Core of Spirituality outlines a 12-step program that revives the ancient spirituality of imperfection, offering us the opportunity to achieve a new sense of hope and fulfillment.
