The Varieties of Religious Experience
Does the invisible faith that sustains my life make me a better, more liberated person?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Among the countless books on religion, few hold so practical and open an attitude as this one. James, the psychologist, does not argue over the truth or falsehood of any particular doctrine. Instead he attends to how a faith transforms a person's life and gives it vitality. The greatest comfort I found here was that the mysterious experiences dwelling within the human heart are never mere delusions, but can become a powerful reality that helps us endure life. If you wish to explore values unseen by the eye, I urge you to read it.
