In the book, various contributors discuss the experience of soul in 11 of our planet's major cities. Here's an excerpt from Tom's blog:
"...it might seem like a frivolous luxury to inquire about something as hard-to-define as soul in the urban environment. How can one afford to worry about soul -- soul of individuals or soul of the city itself -- in the face of a massive failure to meet the basic human needs of citizens around the world? Of course, one could turn that question upside down and ask how can one afford not to worry about the intersection of soul and city in the face of the staggering numbers related to the problems flooding our cities? Without at least one eye on soul the terrifying numbers themselves become empty statistics."
To me, this is such a great example of how Depth Psychology can enter the mainstream in a very compelling way. Congrats to Tom, and all of the authors who wrote chapters for the book. Craig Chalquist and Linda Buzzell have made a similar contribution with their book, EcoTherapy, which came out last year and continues to receive attention.
