Review of Modernity's Wager (Hardcover)

Seligman provides an excellent essay that challenges modernity's wrongly-held belief in the autonomous self.While he asserts the significance of authority in human relationships, I believe the book is stronger as an extended statement regarding the social embeddedness of human beings.It debunks the often touted belief in increased individual isolation due to fundamental social changes that supposedly tear apart social ties.For this alone, the book is highly instructive and intellectually entertaining.Will interest anyone who has spent time thinking about the place of the self in the modern world.

Review of Where Are We Going So Fast?: Finding the Sacred in Everyday Moments (Hardcover)

I thought "where are we going so fast?" by Jim Warda was a great book. I don't read as much as I probably should, but when I picked up this book, it was hard to put down. Jim writes with a lot of emotion, and a lot of the book was from experience in his own life. Even though there were stories of him in the book, I think every reader could connect themselves to him at one point or another. After reading this book I really do find my self looking at the details in life and noticing things that I would regularly pass by. It really does help you pause...take a breath...and locate priceless moments in what would be a rugular day. Also, in my opinion, it is not a book that you can read just once. It's a great book to read, put it down for a couple of months, and go back and read through it again. I most definatley give this book two thumbs up!
