A Return to Innocence: Philosophical Guidance in an Age of Cynicism

Psychiatrist & neuroscientist Schwartz -- a student of both Buddhist meditation & Christian philosophy -- combines 3,000 years of wisdom with brain & behavioral research to guide us in recovering our souls, our safety, our integrity & our capacity to love. A though-provoking exchange of letters between spiritual coachÓ Schwartz & 16-year-old Patrick Buckley, the son of a single mother, frames this fascinating, powerful code for living that shows how the best in each of us can thrive. Spiritual & philosophical ideas become tools for dealing with real-life dilemmas as Patrick frames urgent questions about morality, responsibility, & freedom of choice.Annie Gottlieb is the author of 'A Return to Innocence: Philosophical Guidance in an Age of Cynicism' with ISBN 9780788168536 and ISBN 0788168533.
