For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding… di Sasha Sagan

Kind of a mix of World Religions 101 and personal anecdotes. Too much "All religions are valid because isn't the universe just so mysterious?", too little "Guidebook for the emerging pantheist".

For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding… di Sasha Sagan

Beautiful and full of roads of meaning for secular people lost in the modern world without any complex rationale.

For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding… di Sasha Sagan

Lovely book bringing a sense of humanity and ritual to people who might be more scientifically inclined and also bringing science and rationality to those who might not venture past their traditions and feelings. I think the book is aimed at people younger than me but I was moved in many places.

For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding… di Sasha Sagan

I had high hopes for this book, but in the end it just didn't do much for me.
The book jacket states, "part memoir, part guidebook, and part social history" and for me, that was part of the problem as I did not think the book flowed, but jumped from one topic to the other in rapid succession. There were a few thought provoking topics, but not enough to make the book engaging for me.
