    About this ebook

    Cultivating a spiritual practice among hip, urbane Generation Next-ers is "as unpopular as letter writing," muses author Suzanne Clores. Yet her exploration of nontraditional religions and her conversations with other seekers offer a fascinating glimpse into the hearts and minds of young women searching for meaning in a secular world. Fed up with a life that is comfortable yet lacking in substance, Clores sets out to find "authentic spirituality." By examining her own and other women's postcollege longing for spirituality, she attempts to unravel the dilemma of a generation that didn't grow up with a religious emphasis. The result is one of the first books to mirror young women's yearning for a spiritual path they can fully and wholeheartedly embrace.

      Overall, the book was informative about the dilemmas faced by a modern spiritual seeker caught between religious orthodoxy and the swirling confusion of a plethora of alternative spiritual traditions. Yet I can't help but notice the dominance of other people's accounts of their path at the expense, it seems, of the author's own. This in itself made it harder for me to understand her unique difficulties.
