Summary

"Everyone fascinated by The DaVinci Code could not find a better overview of the mystical riches indigenous to the West than this one. Authors Richard Smoley and Jay Kinney speak with objectivity, covering the strengths and weaknesses as well as the history and ideas of each tradition. They also end each chapter with a wealth of resources for further exploration. Whether you are just beginning to seek a spiritual practice or want to know more about a particular teaching, Hidden Wisdom is a resource for finding the path that is right for you."--BOOK JACKET.
