Written as a concise handbook, this Practical Guide presents a novel paradigm for addressing the enduring questions of our existence, while providing a roadmap to the rational pursuit of spirituality in contemporary life.
Approaching our spiritual development as one would any experimental science, Bahram Elahi, MD, describes the nature of the human soul, or self, through a series of original diagrams and functional analogies to medicine, psychology, and physics. In so doing, he introduces a new medicine of the soul that not only establishes how to nourish and develop the soul through the practice of correct divine and ethical principles, but also how to diagnose and treat its various ailments. Explaining the purpose of our presence on earth as the completion of the first stage in our spiritual development, he summarizes this fundamental work in three main points: examining and mending one’s faith, sufficiently developing one’s sound reason, and cultivating one’s humanity. Ultimately, this timely Practical Guide offers readers of all backgrounds an accessible roadmap to our spiritual journey that is adapted to life in modern society.

Bahram Elahi is professor emeritus of surgery and anatomy, and the author of several works on spirituality as well as medicine. Beyond a distinguished academic and clinical career, he has dedicated the greater part of his life to studying and writing on the philosophy of his father Ostad Elahi (1895-1974), an influential thinker, jurist, and musician whose unique approach to the pursuit of self-knowledge and spiritual perfection lies at the heart of this work.
