With the emergence of positive psychology in the West, and the many fold discovery of the impact of psychology in one's life, there is a need to understand spirituality, and to use its positive aspects to maintain a balance in hectic modern life.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"The blurb on the dust jacket for Spirituality and Indian Psychology: Lessons From the Bhagavad-Gita succeeds admirably, noting that 'globalization, multiculturalism, and Western interest in Eastern thought' have led to increased interest in cross-cultural psychology. ... has potential value for psychologists and other helping professionals. Those interested in the spirituality/psychology interface will find that this book grounds its spiritual references in the Bhagavad-Gita, helping Western readers understand how profoundly Indian thought has been influenced by this and other classics of Indian spiritual literature."
