Spiritually, We: The Art of Relating and Connecting from the Heart
Description
“Spiritually, We is a must-read for anyone who feels lonely and disconnected.”
—Dr. Nicole LePera, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Do the Work
“We need each other,” says internationally bestselling author Sah D’Simone. That’s the unapologetically loving message at the heart of Spiritually, We, a moving manifesto for an increasingly “me, me, me” moment.
In this bold call to action, Sah maps how contemporary spirituality has become an increasingly self-centered project, only exacerbating the loneliness that plagues modern life. Brilliantly illuminating not only why connection is a fundamental piece of a deep spiritual practice, but how to connect with others authentically, Spiritually, We is the essential field guide to deepening friendships, building community, and ultimately healing not only yourself but the whole damn world.
Drawing on the insights and tools he has developed as both teacher and student—as well as the expertise of researchers, journalists, and healers across diverse fields—Sah holds nothing back as he invites us to release an “us vs them” mindset, cultivate radical compassion, and creatively transform our struggles into opportunities for awakening.
Full of Sah’s trademark candor and sass, Spiritually, We is the wake-up call for our times, a deeply felt and necessary reminder that you aren’t alone, that you aren’t meant to be alone, and that it is side by side with others where true wisdom flourishes.
