Essays on spiritual topics

This book is a series of essays on topics related to spirituality. It bases itself entirely on traditional Jewish Torah sources. This work does not have a feature many of Rabbi Twerski's works do i.e. descriptions of cases from his everyday life practice as a psychiatrist. This book is more in the realm of pure moral thought. For instance in the chapter on Gratitude he begins by showing how Gratitude is not given inherently but must be developed by the human being. This is his concluding paragraph of this chapter: "As I have said, the first words we utter in the morning are Modeh Ani, I thank YouG-d, for restoring my soul and giving me another day of life. The emphasis given to expressing gratitude by making it the first action of the day indicates its overwhelming importance. The spiritual person is a grateful person." p. 143
