Truth and Illusion: The Politics of Spirituality and How One Person's Lie Is Another One's Truth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692886724)

Rev. Carol E. Richardson, MDiv, MPH is an integrative psycho-spiritual life coach, energy healer, hypnotherapist, author, speaker, and mystic. She has a BS in psychology, a master's of public health, and a Master of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt University Divinity School. Having pursued Eastern spiritual studies and practiced an Eastern form of meditation for over 20 years, she has formed a synthesis of Eastern and Western approaches in her work, with greatly beneficial results for her clients. Born on the equator in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, her travels as a child led her to question cultural worldviews with their resulting limitations of truth, while valuing a diversity of perspectives on life, truth, human nature, and the universe. Trained in feminist theology, she brings a fresh and appropriately contemporary perspective on issues of human nature, religion, spirituality, and global well-being. A synthetic thinker and mystic, her ideas are both challenging and inspirational.
