Synopsis

A charismatic American philosopher living in Jerusalem, Marc Gafni has become an important voice on religion and spirituality through his enormously popular weekly television program; now, his universal message comes to America, fully realized, in his first book. Marc Gafni follows in the tradition of Rabbi Harold Kushner and Ram Dass, bringing wisdom to everyday experience and using spiritual stories to teach us how to live happier lives. The secret is to "live your story," and we do this by identifying our unique selves -- our "soul prints." Only then can we connect on a deeper level with the world and with those sharing it alongside us. Soul Prints speaks to all readers, regardless of religious beliefs or practices. Using the power of myth -- Biblical and folk -- and drawing on his own highs and lows, Gafni offers advice on how to overcome the obstacles of an increasingly disconnected world to form bonds based in truth and love: connections that begin with our true selves.

About this title

Review:

"Publishers Weekly" (starred review)[A] splendid book....[Gafni's] tremendous breadth distinguishes this volume from so many spiritualized self-help tomes....Though steeped in Jewish wisdom, this book will be accessible and helpful to readers of many faiths.

From the Publisher:

It is about making a deep connection with life and living one's own story, manifesting what he calls the soul print. Gafni is a guide who one senses has been where he takes the reader, illustrating his points both from experience and sacred scripture.
The exercises are searching rather than superficial, inviting real reflection and facilitating growth from the inside out.
