The title "Care of the Soul" suggests a do-it-yourself manual for
handy mystics, the sort of thing you find on the shelves of a New Age
book-tique between "Karma Cleansing Made Simple" and "How To Fix Up
an Old Psyche."
But Brookline psychotherapist Thomas Moore says his new book isn't
particularly trendy -- a lot of it is devoted to analyzing the soul
content of ancient myths -- and is about self-discovery and
self-acceptance rather than techniques for self-improvement and
realization of one's potential, the gist of most pop-psych books.
"To be soulful is to be involved in the everyday problems of
life," says Moore.
