The Humanist's Devotional: 366 Daily Meditations from Some of the World's Greatest Thinkers


Add your own review!

Overview

Jessica Hagy is always looking for connections and themes--tendrils of information that loop and twist and knot into each other. In The Humanist's Devotional she connects quotations and aphorisms to build a conversation between voices from ancient to modern times, a conversation that asserts a humanism that's bravely authentic, with a message that our world is absolutely and wonderfully fascinating. The result is a book of daily devotionals, or meditations, that are not centered on a god or religion, but on a mindset: humanism as a function of learned history and a coping mechanism for a hectic and unnerving world.

Jessica Hagy has a knack for making readers think about old concepts in new ways, and The Humanist's Devotional is no exception. She combines thoughtful ideas in novel ways to create new rules for life. Why bother with the Ten Commandments when this book contains far more wisdom, both timeless and original? - Hemant Mehta, FriendlyAtheist.com


"""The Humanist's Devotional fills a yawning niche for secular freethinkers. Showcasing pithy versions of the less-quoted ideas of great world thinkers, this atypical Devotional provides daily inspiration. Surrounded as we are these days by irrational craziness, we need this!"" --Susan K. Perry, PsychologyToday.com ""Jessica Hagy has a knack for making readers think about old concepts in new ways, and The Humanist's Devotional is no exception.

Without proposing a theistic framework, the entries encourage the reader to embrace the commonalities of the human condition, accept the discipline of reality, take responsibility for individual choices, and celebrate life's endless possibilities. Witty and thought-provoking, this sequence of juxtaposed ideas from great minds across the centuries can be a prompt for journal keepers, or just help to start the day on a note of wisdom, hope, and a smile""--Kendyl Gibbons, editor of Humanist Voices in Unitarian Universalism"
