Description: "The overt religiosity so characteristic of modern American society ironically serves to foster the anxiety epidemic by locking people into a disenchanged secular mindset, leaving them cut off from deep spiritual resources they so desperately need in the face of mounting anxiety. ... [T]his book argues that transcending religious identity and submitting to the greater wisdom of the cosmic story hold a powerful key to resolving anxiety and creating a more just and sustainable world. Surprisingly, the Islamic tradition may provide one of the best models for how to accomplish this"--Back cover.
