Spiritual Design: Enrich Your Spiritual Practice with Lessons from Behavioral Science (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781733531207)

It's hard to make time for a meaningful spiritual life. This book can help you do it: by making small, clever changes to your environment.

Spiritual Design offers a wealth of research to help you enrich your spiritual life, whether your goal is to meditate or pray regularly, follow a personal calling, or anything in between. You'll also learn about breaking bad habits and avoiding the moments of weakness we later regret.

You'll apply lessons from behavioral science - the interdisciplinary study of how people make decisions in their daily lives - to design your environment to support spiritual growth and practice. This process, Spiritual Design, includes:

1. Understanding how our minds are wired, and how our cognitive biases can lead us into temptation or hinder us from following through on our spiritual leadings,
2. Overcoming the common obstacles that we face, and building habits that help us make time for our spiritual life,
3. Learning why our daily lives are structured to distract us from what matters, and how to change that.

Dr. Stephen Wendel is a behavioral scientist, who leads a team of researchers that helps people overcome behavioral obstacles in their lives. In Spiritual Design, he offers practical lessons on applying behavioral science in one's spiritual practice regardless of one's beliefs or denomination.
