De donkere nachten van de ziel: hoe ontdek je de positieve kracht van een crisis in je leven
De beroemde psychotherapeut en filosoof Thomas Moore richt zich in zijn nieuwste boek op zaken waar wij liever niet over nadenken: depressie, verdriet, rouw, verlies en angst. Toch bestaat dat alles in ons leven, en juist de begrijpelijke neiging om ervoor weg te lopen maakt het erger.
In sublieme stijl leert Thomas Moore ons na te denken, rust te vinden en troost te putten, juist in onze donkerste nachten. Wij kunnen verdriet en depressie te boven komen, en ze zelfs zien als noodzakelijke stappen in onze ontwikkeling. De donkere nachten van de ziel laat zien dat er ook in onze donkerste uren troost en vrede kan zijn.

About the author
Thomas Moore
1,045 books65 followersThomas Moore, was an Irish writer, poet, and lyricist celebrated for his Irish Melodies. His setting of English-language verse to old Irish tunes marked the transition in popular Irish culture from Irish to English. Politically, Moore was recognised in England as a press, or "squib", writer for the aristocratic Whigs; in Ireland he was accounted a Catholic patriot.
Married to a Protestant actress and hailed as "Anacreon Moore" after the classical Greek composer of drinking songs and erotic verse, Moore did not profess religious piety. Yet in the controversies that surrounded Catholic Emancipation, Moore was seen to defend the tradition of the Church in Ireland against both evangelising Protestants and uncompromising lay Catholics. Longer prose works reveal more radical sympathies. The Life and Death of Lord Edward Fitzgerald depicts the United Irish leader as a martyr in the cause of democratic reform. Complementing Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent, Memoirs of Captain Rock is a saga, not of Anglo-Irish landowners, but of their exhausted tenants driven to the semi-insurrection of "Whiteboyism".
Today Moore is remembered almost alone either for his Irish Melodies (typically "The Minstrel Boy" and "The Last Rose of Summer") or, less generously, for the role he is thought to have played in the loss of the memoirs of his friend Lord Byron.
