Dark Nights Of The Soul

Every human life is made up of the light and the dark, the happy and the sad, the vital and the deadening. It is how you think about this rhythm of moods that makes all the difference. Our lives are filled with 'dark nights': the loss of a loved one or end of a relationship, ageing and illness, career disappointments or simply an ongoing sense of dissatisfaction with life. These experiences are often framed as obstacles to be overcome as quickly as possible. Bestselling author, Thomas Moore, shows how by honouring our periods of fragility, we can see them instead as positive opportunities to delve the soul's deepest needs - offering a chance to heal and a new understanding of life's meaning. Dark Nights of the Soul offers an uplifting and inspiring new outlook on life by framing these metaphoric dark nights not as the enemy, but as times of transition, occasions to restore yourself and important rites of passage. Moore shares how we can connect with the healing power of melancholy and learn to find meaning and beauty in the darkness.
