Creating Heaven on Earth
The Psychology of Experiencing Immortality in Everyday Life

Support

Cover of Paul Marcus: Creating Heaven on Earth (PDF)

The art of living the ‘good life’ requires skilful attunement to the lovely presences in everyday life. Lodged in a psychoanalytic sensibility, and drawing from ancient and modern religious and spiritual wisdom, this book provides the details, conceptual structures, and inner meanings of a number of easily accessible, everyday activities, including gardening, sport, drinking coffee, storytelling, and listening to music. It also suggests how to best engage these activities, to consecrate the ordinary in a way that points to experiential transcendence, or what the author calls ‘glimpsing immortality’, a core component of the art of living the ‘good life’.
