Summary

"The world breaks everyone, and afterward many are strong at the broken places, observed Ernest Hemingway in his youth. By fixing and integrating ourselves, taught Rabbi Isaac Luria in the 16th century, we also contribute to the grand cosmic endeavor of universal healing and repair. This book offers sustained reflections about what the Torah has to say about seminal emotive states such as anxiety, fear, depression, empathy, resilience, post traumatic growth, anger and self-compassion, to name but a few. The book also explores how to attain spiritual and psychological virtues such as forgiveness, letting go of resentments, as well as the cultivation of humility, integrity, motional intelligence and active listening. If you are interested in dialogues between Torah wisdom and various contemporary and classical psychological modalities, then this book will meet your needs. If you are thirsting for a Torah which goes beyond legalistic minutiae, a Torah which is suffused in core life issues and challenges, then this book is for you"-- Provided by publisher.
