Richard White, “The Spiritual Guide: Four Steps on the Path of Enlightenment”

Professor Richard White is returning to ECS, this time to speak about his new book, The Spiritual Guide, a very practical exploration — without dogmatic answers — to the questions that concern us all about the search for meaning and purpose. His starting point is the question, “How can I live a more spiritual life, a life than can ultimately lead to enlightenment?” The most important steps, he suggests, are staying open to suffering, living a generous life, cultivating mindfulness and wonder, and accepting death but affirming joy.

Richard J. White, Ph.D. is a Professor in the Philosophy Department at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, where he is also the Director of the MALS (Master of Arts in Liberal Studies) Program.
