Why Does Spirituality Persist? applies an Adlerian psychological perspective and a blend of supportive social, genetic, evolutionary, economic, psychological, and political points to its exploration of the ways humans have relied on religion and spirituality for millennia. Spiritual and secular therapists, educators, researchers, believers, skeptics, and atheists will come away from this book with a deeper understanding of the patterns in beliefs, practices, and emotions that are generalizable to diverse spiritual individuals and religious groups around the world. This book respectfully discusses healthy and unhealthy reasons why spirituality and religion endure, challenges to maintaining belief, and advocates for the peaceful coexistence among believers of various faiths as well as with the growing number of atheists.
