<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Here is an accessible and inspiring introduction to the Jewish spiritual tradition known as Mussar. The text features short chapters on 18 key character traits that the Mussar masters emphasize.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Mussar is an illuminating, approachable, and highly practical set of teachings for cultivating personal growth and spiritual realization in the midst of day-to-day life. Here is an accessible and inspiring introduction to this Jewish spiritual path, which until lately has been best known in the world of Orthodox Judaism. The core teaching of Mussar is that our deepest essence is inherently pure and holy, but this inner radiance is obscured by extremes of emotion, desire, and bad habits. Our work in life is to uncover the brilliant light of the soul. The Mussar masters developed transformative teachings and practices--some of which are contemplative, some of which focus on how we relate to others in daily life--to help us to heal and refine ourselves.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>You don't have to be Jewish to appreciate this way of refining and elevating your inner life and outward actions. <i>Everyday Holiness</i> is an exceptional resource, illuminating how true spiritual transformation can take place in our lives one day at a time."--<i>Spirituality and Health</i> <p/>"Clear and delightfully illustrated. Readers of any religion should take their time with this engaging tome of wisdom, lore, and suggested practice."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"A readable, engaging, friendly book. . . . [Morinis] writes as one besotted with the Jewish path, but not so intoxicated as to forget the conventions of the secular.
