How to Be a Holy Rascal ─ A Magical Mystery Tour to Liberate Your Deepest Wisdom, Access Radical Compassion, & Set Yourself Free

A “holy rascal” is someone who lives a deeply rewarding spiritual life outside of the confines of today’s brand-name religions. Rabbi Rami Shapiro’s Holy Rascals explores how we can create for ourselves a spirituality that fits us best—and contributes to a wiser, kinder world for everyone. Includes 12 sessions of “crazy wisdom” on meeting Spirit in all of our experiences; embodying curiosity, care, cleverness, and other qualities of rascality; constructing your own Tiny Religion; and more.
