Faithfully Religionless is an inspirational and page-turning journey that begins with a teenage boy from a small town in Israel, and follows him through the culture shock of moving to California. When his pursuit of happiness in Corporate America feels counterproductive, he escapes the flourescent-lit hell that was his cubicle in Seattle, and sets out to fully embrace the stress-free lifestyle of Hawaii. Intrigued and curious about what people believe (and why they believe what they do), he questions everything that he ever thought was true, and learns to let go of the compulsive need to know. And that's where he finds his bliss.

If you consider yourself spiritual but not religious, you're going to love this book! And if you want to lead a simple and uncomplicated life with happiness at your fingertips, then you'll want to read it more than once.
"It's not that I'm against religion, I simply don't have one (nor do I believe that we need it to be ethical). My faith is doctrine-free, with a definition of God that doesn't conjure a white, bearded man in the sky who dispenses blessings for good behavior and condemns the bad. That's because I don't believe God does that; religion does. You see, faith is a spiritual practice of continually letting go of certainty, of ego, and of the underlying need to know, while religion is a ceremonial tradition of hanging on, clinging to concrete dogmas, stubborn rigidity, and ageless ritual."
Discover the difference between feelings and emotions, the disparity between truths and facts, and the countless benefits of mindful living.
