Here is an accessible and inspiring introduction to this Jewish spiritual path, which until lately has been best known in the world of Orthodox Judaism. The core teaching of Mussar is that our deepest essence is inherently pure and holy, but this inner radiance is obscured by extremes of emotion, desire, and bad habits. Our work in life is to uncover the brilliant light of the soul. The Mussar masters developed transformative teachings and practices—some of which are contemplative, some of which focus on how we relate to others in daily life—to help us to heal and refine ourselves.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781590306093","publication_date":"20081202","publisher":"Shambhala","slug":"everyday-holiness","subtitle":"The Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar","title":"Everyday Holiness"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"REL040070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Orthodox Judaism","score":0.8102,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL040010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Jewish Rituals & Practice","score":0.7935,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL040090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Jewish Theology","score":0.7719,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"REL040070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Orthodox Judaism","score":0.8102,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL040010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Jewish Rituals & Practice","score":0.7935,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL040090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Jewish Theology","score":0.7719,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"HIS022000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Jewish History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"REL040010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Jewish Rituals & Practice","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"REL040070","confidence_band":"high","label":"Orthodox Judaism","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Orthodox Judaism","score":0.8102,"slug":"orthodox-judaism"},{"label":"Jewish Rituals & Practice","score":0.7935,"slug":"jewish-rituals-practice"},{"label":"Jewish Theology","score":0.7719,"slug":"jewish-theology"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Orthodox Judaism","Good for readers interested in personal development","Good for fans of Judaism"],"related_lists":[{"intro":"","slug":"shelf-rel040090-judaism-theology","title":"Judaism Theology Books","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/shelf-rel040090-judaism-theology"},{"intro":"","slug":"shelf-rel040070-orthodox","title":"Orthodox Books","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/shelf-rel040070-orthodox"}],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["George Robinson","David J.
