Philosophy Spirituality
The Spirituality of Carlos Santana, Richard Gere and Bono
These are all individual pocket books about the people listed above, and are arranged in the same format of short extracts on the following themes: spirituality and purpose, humanitarianism and obligation, art and inspiration, self-discovery and virtue. The individual messages and journeys come through very strongly, for instance the Buddhist orientation of Richard Gere, but also their common commitment to helping create a better future. They encourage us to ask big questions, engage in spiritual practice and translate this into meaningful social action. Richard reminds us that the needs of our children our very straightforward – we want them to be happy, educated, fed, clothed and housed. Bono states that if we do not follow through on our ideals, we betray something at the heart of who we are. Carlos Santana feels that the most important thing that we can do individually is to elevate, transform and illumine our own consciousness. These are all inspiring messages.
