SYNOPSIS: Muriel James, co-author of the landmark bestseller, Born to Win, and John James, an internationally known lecturer and trainer, are in the forefront of the new wave of psychologists who give full recognition to the spiritual side of our natures. Both are not only renowned researchers but successful practicing psychotherapists. Now they have combined their pioneering studies and their professional experiences to offer us a key to recognizing our spiritual need as a precious inner resource and a dynamic driving force. This extraordinarily imaginative guide identifies the seven basic urges that are expressions of the spiritual self in all of us, showing us exactly how we can learn to fulfill these fundamental needs--the natural search for freedom, for knowledge, to live and thrive, to experience enjoyment, for creativity, for authentic relationships, and ultimately, for transcendence. And it offers practical exercises that will help anyone discover and understand the best path to personal realization. While Passion for Life incorporates the most advanced findings of modern psychology, it is totally free of psycho-babble and jargon. Though it illumines the most important spiritual aspects of existence, it preaches no narrow religious doctrine. And it does more than urge us to better our lives. It teaches us how to look into our individual selves and ask the questions only we can answer. And above all, it inspires each of us to embark on a passionate and important personal odyssey--one that will forever change the way we view and live our lives. Muriel James is the co-author of Born to Win and other books that have sold more than four million copies. In addition, she is known from coast-to-coast for her hugely acclaimed lectures and appearances on such TV shows as "Good Morning, America" and "The Today Show." John James is co-author of Are You The One For Me? and has lectured around the world--from Singapore to Caracas to Geneva--to corporations, public agencies, educational and religious groups. John is also director of the James Institute, an education, counseling, and professional training center in Lafayette, California. A mother and son team who work independently and occasionally together, both are psychotherapists and clinical trainers, theologians and ordained clergy, educators and consultants.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. Nice book! Moderate shelf wear on dustjacket, lightly aged pages, no writing or markings in text. From Library Journal: Psychotherapist Muriel James, author of several titles on transactional analysis including the classic Born To Win (Addison-Wesley, 1971), and son John contend that there are seven basic spiritual urges that shape human existence and define goals: the urge to live, understand, create, enjoy, connect, transcend, and the urge for freedom. The authors explain the ways in which each human urge manifests itself, thus defining the spiritual paths people choose to explore. To help readers initiate their own spiritual search, quotes for contemplation and simple exercises in self-exploration are given at the end of each chapter. The James's present theories of human existence and spirituality that, although aimed at the general audience, will be accessible only to the most intellectual readers. Consider for comprehensive psychology collections or where such literature is in demand. Linda S. Greene, Chicago P.L. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
