The Secret Despair of the Secular Left

“The Secret Despair of the Secular Left is a cri de coeur that makes us sit up in our chairs and reconsider our lives. In this engaging, not easily pigeonholed book, Levy-Lyons details how secular liberal values have resulted in devastating disconnection from our deepest selves, our communities and our planet. Drawing from Judaism and other religious traditions, philosophers and social justice thinkers, as well as her own experience as a spiritual leader, she challenges us to recommit to responsibility, embodied connection and awe.”
