The Red Book is nothing less than a spiritual fire starter -- a combustible cocktail of Hindu Tantra and Zen Buddhism, Rumi and Carl Jung, goddesses and psychics, shaken with cosmic nudges, meaningful subway rides, haircuts, relationships, sex, dreams, and intuition.

The Red Book is nothing less than a spiritual fire starter—a combustible cocktail of Hindu Tantra and Zen Buddhism, Rumi and Carl Jung, goddesses and psychics, shaken with cosmic nudges, meaningful subway rides, haircuts, relationships, sex, dreams, and intuition.

Author Sera Beak's unique hybrid perspective, hilarious personal anecdotes, and invaluable exercises encourage her readers to live more consciously so they can start making clearer choices across the board, from careers to relationships, politics to pop culture and everything in between.

For smart, gutsy, spiritually curious women whose colourful and complicated lives aren’t reflected in most spirituality books, The Red Book is an open invitation to find your true self and start sharing that delicious truth with the world.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Sera J. Beak, a religious scholar and writer for San Francisco Chronicle's sfgate.com, offers a potent, brief book aimed at invigorating spirituality for 20- to 30-something American women. She critiques patriarchal spiritual traditions and proposes a modern feminist spirituality, encouraging readers to create their own 'red books' as spiritual scrapbooks. Known for its unorthodox and brazen approach, including frank discussions about sex, Beak's writing may challenge conservative readers but offers poignant insights and a fresh, femme fatale perspective on spirituality.
