“[…]—that there is an accesible force within us all. And no matter what we call it or how we classify it, no matter if it originates in something truly “divine” or in the subtle, deft manipulation of the truth, it can be a very real and very powerful force to improve our lives”

One woman's journey to finding something more to believe in. Tackled with alot of humour as she works her way through laughing yoga, burning man, shamans, soul cycle etc.
If you are looking for something serious, this is not it - but it definitely suited my mood and entertained me.
Read for #aboutacultorreligion for #booked2022 as well as #bookspin

An attorney for Google has a child and wants to be able to talk to her about God but she feels unqualified to do so. She writes with some humor about the different avenues she takes to experience a connection to God. The book is a little too cutesy for me. However, her parents are followers of the Jain religion and that sounds like something I could get behind.

I think I found God in this pizza though.

I love a religious-seeking memoir from time to time, even though I'm not seeking myself.

It surprises me that Anjali never really gets into service and mutual aid as an aspect of belief-engagement. Her whole search is focused much more on mystical spirituality than religious community, which is really opposite to my own priorities about religion and faith.

So this isn't a review! The book is... fine? But I'll be thinking about it for a while.
