Karen Armstrong - Twelve Steps To A Compassionate Life

Karen Armstrong's 12-step guide to becoming a better human being is a profound and lucid mixture of philosophy, theology and self-help. It's a perfect detox for the soul...as a write, she has many strengths: she is spry, eloquent, pacy. Unlike so many proselytisers, she manages to assert her ideas without being pompous or self-important...Crucially, Armstrong has a knack for grappling with complex ideas in the lightest of ways...She also displays an impressive degree of emotional intelligence...
She uses her scholarly knowledge not as a blunt instrument with which to embarrass and humiliate the befuddled reader, but as a generous frame on which to lay many soft, welcoming cushions of learning.
