Spiritual Practice of Good Deeds. Achieving Balance of Soul Qualities in the Musar Tradition

Each of us has character traits that we would like to change: to become a bit bolder and more persistent - or calmer, wiser, and more reasonable. Musar is a millennia-old spiritual tradition that offers specific advice and recommendations to help balance what we are unsatisfied with in ourselves, in order to live a more ethical, meaningful, and authentic life. It originates from Judaism, but it is intended for all people, regardless of age, experience, and faith.
"Spiritual Practice of Good Deeds" is a step-by-step guide that will help you better understand yourself and turn any situation into an opportunity for spiritual growth. In each chapter, you will explore one of the thirteen soul qualities in detail - from humility and mercy to enthusiasm and honesty. The goal is not to achieve perfection in everything, but to confidently steer your ship on the waves of life and avoid dangerous imbalance. For example, excessive humility can be just as harmful as complacency, as it leads to passivity and an inability to stand up for oneself. With daily techniques and exercises, including mantras, meditation, and journaling, you will be able to change for the better every day.
Musar is the spirituality of the real world. It is a pragmatic tradition focused on ordinary daily life. The book offers powerful spiritual tools that will serve you even years after reading.
