Shortcut to Spirituality: Unlocking the Door to Inner Peace is Easier than You Think!

The ability to master spirituality, here and now, is within all of us. Sounds simple, but sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to do. This is because emotions that we identify with spirituality such as "happiness' and "calm' are fleeting states too easily disrupted by internal and external emotional and material distractions. Spirituality does not necessarily equal religion and achieving spirituality is about achieving inner peace. Easy to imagine but hard to do, and often the thing standing in the way is…us! Says Dr. Gottfried, "We live in a fast, harried society, and our spirituality is sorely tested by day-to-day stresses, other people perceptions and misconceptions, and the biggest roadblock to spiritual peace – namely ourselves.'

Each of us has three levels of existence: Spiritual (who we are), Psychological (what we think and feel), and Physical (what we sense). Our psychological and physical existence often hampers our ability to tap into who we really are, and achieve a state of spiritual oneness. This leads to anxiety, stress, depression, and other physical and emotional disorders. Whereas most books on spirituality underscore the need for drastic or major life changes, Shortcut to Spirituality enables people to work within their current life frame because trying to accomplish everything at once, fix every problem, deal with and conquer all emotions, can be counterproductive. We only succeed in overloading and overwhelming ourselves even more. Instead of lamenting what you would do if you had your life to live over, this book will guide you on how to live it now!


Based on his years of clinical practice, Dr. Gottfried offers proven techniques and exercises for obtaining and strengthening each individual's level of inner peace, thus building a bridge from our sometimes troubled psyche to our spirituality; and then shows us how to maximize on and benefit from this heightened state in all our day-to-day activities and interpersonal relationships.

Shortcut to Spirituality offers a unique and refreshing perspective on the search for inner peace. It's not just theoretical, but practical, illustrating examples applicable to readers' everyday experiences, making it an invaluable workbook/resource for anyone looking to improve their life.
