Items related to The Education of the Heart
Thomas Moore provides the original source material he drew on or quoted in his megabestsellers Care of the Soul, Soul Mates and The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life. This companion volume is ideal for reading and study groups.
Thomas Moore's first two books, Care of the Soul and Soul Mates, have sold two million copies, appeared on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list for 96 weeks combined and have touched the lives of millions of people across the country. The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Lifeis an essential companion volume, divided into chapters on topics such as marriage and intimacy, friendship and community, spirit and soul. For each chapter, Thomas Moore has created a study guide, with an overview of the theme and suggestions for discussion. However, the book is more than a reader's tool; it offers the wisdom and guidance of many cultures and ages.
From the Greek tragedies and ancient magical texts to the writings of the Renaissance philosophers to those of modern archetypal psychologists, these passages were selected not only for content, but for the beauty and power of their language, making The Education of the Heart as much a richly rewarding reading experience as a resource.

About the Author:
Thomas Moore is a writer and lecturer; he lives with his family in New England. In addition to his bestselling and pathbreaking book, Care of the Soul, he has published many articles in the areas of archetypal and Jungian psychology, mythology and the arts. His other books include The Planets Within, Rituals of the Imagination, Dark Eros and, most recently, The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life. He also edited A Blue Fire, an anthology of the writings of James Hillman.
From Booklist:
As a young man, Moore lived in a Catholic religious order for 12 years; subsequently he worked as a musician, college professor and psychotherapist. He holds a doctorate in religious studies from Syracuse University, a MA in theology from the University of Windsor, and a BA in music and philosophy from DePaul University.
Since Thomas Moore's name on a book attracts hundreds of thousands, this collection of passages that have inspired Moore in writing his best-sellers Care of the Soul (1992), Soul Mates (1993), and The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life may attract a readership much broader than such a work usually does these days. (Early in this century, such inspirational gatherings helped make Elbert Hubbard internationally famous.) Moore says he has designed the book to be equally rewarding whether randomly browsed, read cover to cover, or used as a text for individual or class study of the soul. He separately introduces each of the 8 sections and 24 chapters in which he arrays the selections. Most of the authors are theologians, philosophers, psychologists, and poets, and they are a top-drawer lot: Jesus, Plato, Homer, Emerson, Ficino, Origen, Boethius, Gandhi, Eliot, Jung, Yeats--good company, indeed.
