The twenty-first century has witnessed a transformation of the
organization, opportunities, and terms of work. Downsizing,
restructuring, and outsourcing are the forces altering employment
relationships throughout the work force. Those who tend to see the
future in a positive light view the evolving role between employer
and employee as empowering for the individual.
This book examines the consequences of economic instability due
to job loss and the displacement of millions of workers. It draws
upon case studies of worker displacement as well as national labor
force surveys. Thomas S. Moore finds that consequences of economic
instability are productivity slowdown, increased disparities in
earnings and income, and higher average unemployment. He assesses
the extent of job loss nationwide, its costs to the individuals
directly affected, and the way in which the incidence of
displacement and earnings loss has shifted over time. Although
drawn from an earlier period, the data have an obvious relevance to
today's labor markets.
Moore argues for an employment and training system that gives
employers an incentive to invest in the skills of their employees.
Federally funded training programs have not improved the earning
ability of displaced and disadvantaged workers, and state-sponsored
programs tend to exclude those most in need of assistance. Moore
suggests direct employer investment in the general skills of
employees. Initially published in a different economic downturn,
this continues to be a must read book for all economists,
sociologists, and policymakers.
In this provocative and highly original work, the bestselling author of Care of the Soul and Soul Mates at last restores sex to its rightful place in the human psyche. Describing sex as an experience of the soul, Thomas Moore here brings out the fully human side of sex--the roles of fantasy, desire, meaning, and morality--and draws on religion, mythology art, literature, and film to show how sex contains the most profound mysteries. While finding the spirituality inherent in sex, Moore also explores how spiritual values can sometimes wound our sexuality. He recommends many ways in which society can tone down its moralism and create a public life that is erotic, one that affirms desire and pleasure. He interprets the media's obsession with sex as a symptom of our failure to weave sex into the whole of life, and spells out an Epicurean lifestyle where the simple pleasures of good food, friends, family, and intimacy with nature give our sexuality a broad and supportive base. Blending rather than opposing spirituality and sexuality, The Soul of Sex offers a fresh, livable way of becoming more deeply sexual and loving in all areas of life.
In his fresh and life-giving translation of the Gospels with
sparkling commentary, spiritual innovator Thomas Moore strips the
Gospels of their theological agendas and reclaims them as a
fundamentally new way of imagining human life. He blends
scholarship and pastoral guidance to highlight the Gospels’
teachings on earthly, rather than otherworldly, living in which
community, compassion, inclusiveness, prayer and healing are key
elements. He draws deeply from Greek philosophy, literature and
spirituality to craft an accurate and challenging yet accessible
translation that, free of religious moralism and dogmatism, is
beautifully imaginative and inspirational.
The Planets Within asks us to return to antiquity with new eyes. It
centers on one of the most psychological movements of the
prescientific age -- Renaissance Italy, where a group of 'inner
Columbuses' charted territories that still give us today a much-
needed sense of who we are and where we have come from, and the
right routes to take toward fertile and unexplored places. Chief
among these masters of the interior life was Marsilio Ficino,
presiding genius of the Florentine Academy, who taught that all
things exist in soul and must be lived in its light. This study of
Ficino broadens and deepens our understanding of psyche, for Ficino
was a doctor of soul, and his insights teach us the care and
nurture of soul. Moore takes as his guide Ficino's own fundamental
tool -- imagination. Respecting the integrity and autonomy of
images, The Planets Within unfolds a poetics of soul in a kind of
dialogue between the laconic remarks of Ficino and the need to give
these remarks a life and context for our day.

A 'dark night of the soul' is not a psychological syndrome, but a
quest for meaning during life's darkest hours: the loss of a loved
one, the end of a relationship, ageing and illness, career
disappointments or just an ongoing dissatisfaction with life.
Thomas Moore's extensive experience as a psychologist and
theologian has taught him that the dark night is a challenge to
restore ourselves and to become someone of substance, depth and
soul. By using these trying times as an opportunity to reflect and
delve into the soul's deepest needs, we can find a new
understanding of life's meaning. Dark Nights of the Soul has its
roots in a favourite chapter in Thomas Moore's million copy
bestseller, Care of the Soul. In this beautifully-written and
thought-provoking work he explores our contemporary anxieties and
insecurities and shows how these metaphoric dark nights can become
transforming rites of passage.
As the mother Wes Moore, whose memoir about overcoming the
obstacles that face a fatherless young black man was a huge
bestseller, Joy is often asked: How did you do it? How do you
balance parenting, work and self-care when you don't have a partner
to pick up the slack? How do you connect with a child when you
can't always be there? Joy's answer is "presence." We can't always
be physically there for our children, but the power of presence can
help us to be a voice in the back of their minds that guides them
through difficult times. In MY PRIDE, MY JOY, Moore explores seven
pillars of presence--heart, faith, mind, courage, financial
freedom, values, and connectedness--that all parents can use to be
positively influence their children. Using compelling stories from
women who have been there and practical advice on everything from
savings accounts to mindfulness, this book is a compassionate look
at what it takes to raise great kids.
This unique book is about freeing psychology's poetic imagination
from the dead weight of unconscious assumptions about the soul.
Whether we think of the soul scientifically or medically,
behaviourally or in terms of inner development, all of us are used
to thinking of it in an individual context, as something personal.
In this book, however, we are asked to consider psychology from a
truly transpersonal perspective as a cultural, universal-human
phenomenon. Cobb teaches us to look at the world as a record of the
soul's struggles to awaken and as the soul's poetry. From this
perspective, the real basis of the mind is poetic. Beauty, love,
and creativity are as much instincts of the soul as sexuality or
hunger. Cobb shows us how artists and mystics can teach us the
meaning of love, death, and beauty, if only we can awaken to their
creations. The exemplars here are Dante, Rumi, Rilke, Munch, Lorca,
Schumann, and Tarkovsky.

#1 New York Times Bestseller With a new introduction by the author
and additional material, this 25th anniversary edition of the #1
New York Times bestseller by Thomas Moore provides a powerful
spiritual message for our troubled times. In this special 25th
anniversary edition of Thomas Moore's bestselling book Care of the
Soul readers are presented with a revolutionary approach to
thinking about daily life-everyday activities, events, problems and
creative opportunities-and a therapeutic lifestyle is proposed that
focuses on looking more deeply into emotional problems and learning
how to sense sacredness in even ordinary things. Basing his writing
on the ancient model of "care of the soul"-which provided a
religious context for viewing the everyday events of life-Moore
brings "care of the soul" into the 21st century. Promising to
deepen and broaden the reader's perspective on his or her own life
experiences, Moore draws on his own life as a therapist practicing
"care of the soul," as well as his studies of the world's religions
and his work in music and art, to create this inspirational guide
that examines the connections between spirituality and the problems
of individuals and society.
