A Return to Innocence: Philosophical Guidance in an Age of Cynicism

by Annie Gottlieb, Annie Gottlieb

Told through thought-provoking letters from spiritual coach Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz to a 16-year-old young man, A Return to Innocence combines 3,000 years of wisdom from Buddha, Moses, and Jesus with cutting-edge behavioral research to enlighten readers on how to rediscover the lost art of self-command. With inspiring anecdotes and ages of wisdom, A Return to Innocence illuminates a philosophical passageway for readers of all ages to achieve the numerous benefits of self-mastery, including inner peace, increased mental power and focus, genuine intimacy, trust, and lasting relationships.

Schwartz better provides a compelling model for spiritual mentorship than compelling advice. Would be meaningful to leverage his example of candor, simplicity, and clarity to create new tools for mentoring young people. Not recommended for content, but perhaps for style.
