description: Psychiatrist &amp; neuroscientist Schwartz — a student of both Buddhist meditation &amp; Christian philosophy — combines 3,000 years of wisdom with brain &amp; behavioral research to guide us in recovering our souls, our safety, our integrity &amp; our capacity to love. A though-provoking exchange of letters between spiritual coach Schwartz &amp; 16-year-old Patrick Buckley, the son of a single mother, frames this fascinating, powerful code for living that shows how the best in each of us can thrive. Spiritual &amp; philosophical ideas become tools for dealing with real-life dilemmas as Patrick frames urgent questions about morality, responsibility, &amp; freedom of choice.
