"Whatever Sardello tôuches breaks open with startling new meaning. Now'^ he enters the great arena of our cultural disorders so that we suddenly see them afresh. I have thieved privately from his mind for fifteen years. At last his work is out, available to anyone recognizing thé need to reimagine the soul's plight m a world astray." ^ —James Hillman
"This book is a classifc in the making. Robert Sardello is one of the few modern thinkers who genuinely sense how to deal with the barrenness of modern life. Not only is this work about the soul, it is also food^r the soul. Facing the World with Sovd is recommended for anyone suffering from the spiritual emptiness of our time." —Larry Dossey, M.D.
