Book Reviews of After the Ecstasy, the Laundry: How the Heart Grows Wise on the Spiritual Path
Book Review: Another Big Book of Delicious Wisdom from Master Jack
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have read Jack Kornfield's "A Path With Heart" you might think he had said all there was to say on the subject of Enlightenment and Spiritual Wisdom. Well, here he is again with yet another big book of inspirational prose - this time showing what to do when we topple off our perch and the halo slips to one side. Jack is an ordained Buddhist monk who trained as a clinical psychologist in order to teach Eastern mysticism through Western terms. His work is at once humorous and profoundly wise, filled with snatches of poetry and quotes from people like Thich Nhat Hanh, Rumi, Proust, Emily Dickinson - oh yes, and Buddha, Jesus, the Dalai Lama and a few other spiritual heavyweights of whom you may have heard! Like "A Path With Heart", this is a book you will want to have by your bedside for the rest of your reading, thinking, breathing life. Because even saints have to come down from the cloud of ecstasy to do the laundry sometime - and if you don't happen to be a saint, your "agony" will be made a lot easier by the no-nonsense messages of hope and inspiration contained in these pages.
