Lory Bird: I really love this book. It makes you look at so many things with a different perspective from what society / family has taught all of us to differing degrees. By helping us expand our minds, Thomas Moore is showing us ways to care for our souls. With every book I read, I realize how utterly ignorant I am and this one is no exception. But isn’t that the beauty of knowing you don’t know it all ? Every time I came out of this book I truly felt closer to my soul. It is beautifully written, almost dream-like, and I was wistful when it was all over. Am looking forward to pursuing his other work. What a gift !

Carla Hastiemorrow: I had already had this book in hardback but loaned it to a friend and never seen it again. This book is like a manual for the care of your soul -I read it over and over and it really helps!! It helps to rewire your mind to actually care for yourself!

froggyk: I can race through some books, enjoying them so much that I can’t wait to see how they end. Was it Colonel Mustard with the revolver in theblibrary?
Some books are different – very different, and I take my time not because I’m slogging through misery, but because every paragraph requires reading and rereading, followed by time to savor the ideas presented there, sometimes taking days or even weeks to work through a chapter. Care of the Soul was such a book.
This book is dense – dense in thought, dense in ideas. My first question is what is soul? I have used the words soul and spirit interchangeably, but Moore distinguishes between them. His differences are not subtle – rather, like two halves of the essence of human experience.
The basis of Moore’s most famous book is that we must take time to nurture our soul – our heart – our depth. To nurture in his sense means to explore with curiosity – both in the light and the shadows. We should look for beauty in both places. We should let our hearts feel the beauty of joy and sadness.
A tough read for me – not because the wording was hard to grasp, but the concepts themselves deserved their...

M Akhila: I liked Care of the Soul very much because it reminded me of that essential beauty that gets missed in the glitzy hurly burly of modern life. Thomas Moore’s opinion that this emptiness of soul leads people to fill the vacuum with stuff / power/ wealth resonated with me
I read this when I was recovering from the change of a relationship- it helped me gain insight into both our actions.
I would recommend it to anyone wanting to delve deeper into an understanding of human nature and its connection to the world around us.
5 stars because it made me stop and admire the demon thee leaves
