Secular Spirituality Jay N Forrest

Secular Spirituality is about the search for a spirituality without God, the supernatural, or an afterlife. What are the options for a person who no longer believes in God and can't buy into New Age superstition? This book explores your options.

In this collected works, Dr. Forrest takes you on a journey through Secular Buddhism (2011-2014), Atheistic Humanism (2014-2015), Spiritual Naturalism (2015-2017), and finally to Bodhidaoism (2017-2019), which is his own creation.

Dr. Forrest believe that all worldviews and religions of the past have failed or are failing. The time has come for a careful synthesis of the best insights of the world's wisdom traditions with the current understandings of science, psychology, and philosophy. Bodhidaoism is just such an attempted synthesis.
