Publisher's summary

Now updated with a new introduction by number-one New York Times best-selling author Marianne Williamson, the 20th anniversary edition of Healing the Soul of America shares her timeless, visionary message of political healing.

In the 20th anniversary edition of Healing the Soul of America, Marianne Williamson reclaims her powerful voice for social conscience in American society. This is a time, according to Williamson, for Americans to return once again to our first principles, both politically and spiritually. Here, Williamson draws plans to transform the American political consciousness and encourage powerful citizen involvement to heal our society.

With updated material throughout and a new introduction, Williamson explores the current state of American politics, reminding us of her theory of holistic politics - the convergence of political activists looking toward spiritual wisdom and spiritual contemplatives extending their service into the political landscape. She believes that a morally concerned American must now take an active stand in turning this country away from its current identity as a nation obsessively in love with its money to a nation more seriously invested in all of its children and the potential brilliance of every citizen.

"Marianne Williamson is attempting to help not only her followers but an entire nation" (People). In the wake of the current political dysphoria, with countless tragedies consistently on the nightly news, America is facing a time of immense division. Political parties that completely polarize friends and family, mass shootings, threats of nuclear war, and a lack of confidence in our governmental leaders show that the country is in desperate need of restoration. We need a new paradigm of political understanding, a moral commitment to express it, and a new kind of activism to bring it forth. Healing the Soul of America is a blueprint for all three and there has never been a more urgent need.

This should be required reading for every American

For nearly 8 hours I was glued to my headphones as I went about my work at my computer as Marianne's voice narrated her book with her wisdom, intelligence, heart and soul. If I could recommend just one book to anyone and everyone I know at this time in our lives...it would be this one. The insight and deep understanding of history and the Human condition that Marianne displays in this book is uplifting and stirs within the desire to take some action, any action within your own heart to be more involved in being an American. She gives specific ways to arm yourself with knowledge, Love and power to be the change we must see. Brilliant, Marianne, for updating your book and for now walking the walk as you are running for President of this great land!

Wish I Heard this book years ago!

In times where we question the future of America, Marianne Williamson provides a deep, spiritual understanding of where past meets present. I found myself in awe of how much history I never knew or was taught in schools.

An excellent look into healing our political syste

Marianne Williamson has an incredible grasp of the history of our politics and how we have gotten into the mess we are in today. If you are not familiar with her - get familiar! There are many wonderful talks available on youtube that discuss our history and what we have lost and how we can gain it back.

It's time in our evolution

At first I was thinking this may be a bit soft and without practical application. Oh how very wrong I was. Marianne Williamson's powerful and practical conversation in this book is some of the much needed understanding and action necessary in a nation in the thows of spiritual bankruptcy
