There are some real gems in here about cultivating spirituality and soul in your life. I have been working on listening to what my feelings are saying on a deeper level lately and this book helped solidify that goal. The lower rating is because this book is INCREDIBLY dense and esoteric to read. It was very difficult to finish and I tuned out for a good chunk of it by the end, just wanting to finish. However, the key ideas are invaluable.

Moore relies heavily on his training in the Renaissance period, and as such, he brings with him all the biases and viewpoints of that time. You either appreciate that or you don’t. I found it to be idealistic toward both masculinity and femininity in a problematic way. He also leans more Freudian.
If you want a soul book with a classical approach, I’d highly recommend Shop Class as Soulcraft.
If you are looking for a more holistic approach to the soul (in the Christian wisdom tradition) try Cynthia Bourgeault, Richard Rohr, Thomas Merton, etc.

Interesting perspective and life view - some good takeaways, but contains some, in my opinion, antiquated views on therapy and mental health care

The author discusses reasons for and methods of "caring" for our souls. This is insightful material, especially when combined with Christ's teachings.
