In an appealing combination of inspiring quotations from spiritual leaders and writings, examples from real-life situations, and suggestions for simple activities and exercises, In Losing the Weight of the World explains how we can lose the weight of the world by lightening the load of our personal problems, focusing our awareness, living in the present, balancing our worldly desires and goals and the harmony and Oneness our spirits seek, and discovering our basic goodness. Driven by our survival-and success-oriented personalities, we all too often ignore the cravings of our spirits. In Losing the Weight of the World teaches us that life is a spiritual feast when we learn to taste whats set before us."
