Book Description

This essential illustrates to psychotherapists and counselors the importance of spirituality for strengthening personal resilience. We live in often exhausting and fast-moving times. The 21st century began with a series of crises on a global scale:the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the financial crisis, climate change, the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Many media outlets today are true artists when it comes to describing unsuccessful lives. Anyone who is constantly preoccupied with negative news runs the risk of losing their inner mental balance. They are in danger of falling into a mood characterized by gloom and resignation. Experienced spiritual counselor and logotherapist Gerhard Sprakties shows how a deep spiritual foundation can help us to deal with these challenges in a constructive way.
