Abstract
"Dispirited: How Contemporary Spirituality Makes Us Stupid, Selfish and Unhappy." David Webster. Zero Books. June 2012. --- David Webster‘s book seeks to identify the toxic impact of spiritual discourses on our lives. Spirituality makes us confused, apolitical and miserable – whether that spirituality is from conventional religious roots, from a new-age buffet of beliefs, or from some re-imagined ancient system of belief, argues Webster. Miranda Nell finds that this is an accessible and provocative read, but is not entirely convinced by the author’s conclusions.
