Deepening the American Dream by Mark Nepo

Deepening the American Dream offers a collection of reflections on the spiritual meaning of being American in today’s world from some of our most respected thinkers: Gerald May, Jacob Needleman, Elaine Pagels, Robert Inchausti, Parker Palmer, and others. Deepening the American Dream explores the inner life of democracy, the way citizens are formed, and considers the spiritual aspects of the American dream¾life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. With original essays from distinguished writers and thinkers, this important work examines the American dream and gives us a deeper understanding of who we are now and what our dreams and aspirations are today.

?Reading through the essays collected in this book is a feast for the citizen as well as a feast for the soul?-- From the Foreword by Robert Bellah ?This important book brings together some of the most creative thinkers in the nation to look beyond the troublesome reality of our time and to imagine a bold new way of thinking and living. It challenges us to cross the boundaries that keep us apart, and points, inspiringly, to a future that unites us with all human beings. As editor, Mark Nepo conveys the poetry, grace, and wisdom of his earlier work.?-- Howard Zinn, author, A People's History of the United States, and coauthor (with Anthony Arnove), Voices Of A People's History Of The United States
