Summary
In Susceptible to the Sacred, Bani Shorter, a well-known Jungian analyst, examines the psychological experience of ritual in contemporary life and how this promotes awareness of the individual's natural potential. Basing her book on live material, she investigates with great sensibility how people perceive the sacred and use ritual in their search for purpose, motivation and transformation.
