'The Wisdom of Sundays' is a collection of insights, anecdotes, and sage advice from a mixture of personalities whom Oprah has interviewed on her show, Super Soul Sunday. In these interviews (which began in October 2011) she recalls moments when these renowned thought-leaders and spiritual luminaries expressed deep, compelling acuity on how they stay inspired by looking inward, in order to continue in their journey of truthful discernment.
From what I've learned so far, an essential point of the book is that there are many avenues we each can go about finding peace so that we can awaken our individual spirit through enlightenment. Some of the individuals quoted in the book include Deepak Chopra, Ram Dass, Thích Nhất Hạnh, Shirley McClain, Eckhart Tolle, Rob Bell, Joel Olsteen, and Richard Rohr.
The Wisdom of Sundays binds progressive spirituality with Sunday--a very interesting association. The first day of the week is becoming increasingly associated with mystical spirituality through the efforts of emergent thought leaders, environmentalism and the Pope.
