Book Reviews
‘The Spirituality Gap: Searching for Meaning in a Secular Age’ by Abi Millar
This book is excellent. It is about the search for meaning in our rapidly changing world. It explores ayahuasca (a hallucinogen), yoga, tarot, astrology, manifestation, reiki, atheism, physical exercise, meditation, Nature spirituality, shamanism and raves.
Close to Home: The Wonders of Nature Just Outside Your Door by Thor Hanson
The title of this book sums up its content well: its aim is to encourage people to pay more attention to the nature surrounding them wherever they live, whether they have large gardens or in their local parks or surroundings.
