To support his theories, James turns to the autobiographical writings of a wide variety of mystics and writers, including Walt Whitman, Martin Luther, Voltaire, Emerson, and Tolstoy. The result is a colorful and wide-ranging collection of recorded experiences that James compares, categorizes, and analyzes. Many of his categories―including the sick soul, the divided self, and healthy-mindedness―have become standard in the study of religions.&&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RExquisitely written, &&LI&&RThe Varieties of Religious Experience&&L/I&&R has had a profound influence on modern spiritual thought, including the psychology of religion and recovery programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous.&&LBR&&R&&L/P&&R&&LP style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&&R&&LSTRONG&&RWayne Proudfoot&&L/B&&R &&L/B&&Ris Professor of Religion at Columbia University, specializing in the philosophy of religion.
