Book Review:

Every human journey is filled with emotional tunnels: the loss of a loved one or end of a relationship, aging and illness, career disappointments or just an ongoing sense of dissatisfaction with life. Society tends to view these "dark nights" as obstacles to be overcome as quickly as possible. This moving book presents these metaphoric dark nights not as the enemy, but as times of transition and occasions to restore yourself. Moore shows specific ways to engage life more deeply through particular challenges and shares a powerful new outlook on finding meaning and beauty in the darkness.
