Spiritual in My Own Way: One Man’s Gritty Search for Meaning and Peace of Mind

In this honest, vulnerable, and philosophically challenging memoir, Icelandic-American author Gudjon Bergmann describes the ups and downs of his spiritual quest, how he navigated his way through a rebellious youth, the pitfalls of cultural Christianity, the many faces of New-Age spirituality, sobriety, and an obsession with yoga, until, finally, a multi-faceted integral approach led him to revive his respect for the faith traditions and become an interfaith minister. Bergmann’s tale equally highlights the epiphanies and stumbling blocks he experienced along the way and he never shies away from the shadow aspects of his spiritual search. This book is dedicated to spiritual seekers everywhere, many of whom have found their aspirations, experiences, and philosophical musings reflected in Bergmann’s modern quest.
