With more than 1
million copies in print, the original edition of Care of the Soul
is a remarkable study of the creative opportunities that are available
to us in everyday life. Thomas Moore is now a world-renowned writer,
psychotherapist, and speaker, and this new, illustrated edition of Care
of the Soul brings an edited version of the original text to a new
audience.
Care of the Soul: The Illustrated Edition offers a therapeutic
program to restore the spiritual life to the human soul. We are given
the opportunity to go deeper into our emotional problems and find the
sacredness in ordinary, everyday life—with friends, in our
conversation with others, in more fulfilling work, and in all the
experiences that can touch the heart.
By integrating classical and modern art with the text, this edition
offers the reader the opportunity to envision the already very visual
nature of Thomas Moore's writing. It contains more than 150 color
illustrations of great works of art that make the text come
alive—ranging from pieces by Marsilio Ficino, one of the author's
favorite artists, to Edward Munch and Pablo Picasso; from vase paintings
created in 400 BCE all the way to works by modern artists such as Edwin
Romanzo Elmer, Giorgio De Chirico, and William Waterhouse.
Thomas Moore has long worked as an art therapist and has studied
religion and music—all of which have come together in this volume to
bring us an extraordinary and inspirational guide to the spiritual
solutions needed in daily life.
