About this title

Synopsis

What if you spent years of your life seeking spiritual enlightenment, but were looking in the wrong place over a long time? It's happening right now to millions of seekers around the world.

That's why Dr. Robert Forman has written his revolutionary book, which has recently become an Award-Winning Finalist in the Spirituality Category of The USA "Best Books 2011" Awards. Told in often poetic prose, Enlightenment Ain't ... offers new direction for people looking for a sane and healthy spiritual pathway in our increasingly confusing world.

Traditional spiritual models are giving seekers a wrong and frustrating impression about spiritual enlightenment. By exploring his own 39 year experience of spiritual enlightenment, Dr. Forman offers a remedy to folks who are:

• Convinced they don't have the right stuff to achieve enlightenment in this lifetime.
• Disillusioned by spiritual teachers who don't live up to their lofty self-portraits
• Worried that choosing a spiritual life means leaving their everyday life behind.
• Hungry for a different way to be, but unable to express it.

Through metaphor, humor, vulnerability and achingly beautiful prose, Dr. Forman's book offers new found hope to spiritual seekers everywhere.

About the Author

Dr. Robert K.C. Forman is the author of the Award Winning Enlightenment Ain't What It's Cracked Up To Be:  A Journey of Discovery, Snow and Jazz in the Soul, which begins with the discovery that enlightenment, in his own experience and others', didn't turn out to be what we'd heard. It goes on to explore the nature of, and how we might get to, a more sensible spiritual goal for our modern lives, i.e live the messiness of everyday life with deep authenticity and grace. 

Dr. Forman hasn't missed a day of meditation in 40 years, is a Ph.D (Columbia) and Professor of Comparative Religions (CUNY), specializing in mysticism and spiritual experiences. He's a founding executive editor of The Journal of Consciousness Studies and is the founding Executive Director of the Soul Jazz Programs for bringing spirituality into the everyday: GoDeeperTogether.com.
