{"product_id":"spiritual-bypassing-robert-augustus-masters-9781459630727","title":"Spiritual Bypassing: When Spirituality Disconnects Us from What Really Matters (Large Print 16pt)","description":"Spiritual bypassing - the use of spiritual beliefs to avoid dealing with painful feelings, unresolved wounds, and developmental needs - is so pervasive that it goes largely unnoticed. The spiritual ideals of any tradition, whether Christian commandments or Buddhist precepts, can provide easy justification for practitioners to duck uncomfortable feelings in favor of more seemingly enlightened activity. When split off from fundamental psychological needs, such actions often do much more harm than good. While other authors have touched on the subject, this is the first book fully devoted to spiritual bypassing. In the lineage of Ch gyam Trungpa's landmark Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism, Spiritual Bypassing provides an in - depth look at the unresolved or ignored psychological issues often masked as spirituality, including self - judgment, excessive niceness, and emotional dissociation. A longtime psychotherapist with an engaging writing style, Masters furthers the body of psychological insight into how we use (and abuse) religion in often unconscious ways. This book will hold particular appeal for those who grew up with an unstructured new - age spirituality now looking for a more mature spiritual practice, and for anyone seeking increased self - awareness and a more robust relationship with themselves and others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Augustus Masters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1459630726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781459630727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ReadHowYouWant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Robert Augustus Masters","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066395619583,"sku":"9781459630727","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68191ad0-57e3-4bb2-837b-62e3fcab6065.jpg?v=1685407021","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spiritual-bypassing-robert-augustus-masters-9781459630727","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
