"This is not just another book about soul, but a book saturatedwithsoul." -Robert Augustus Masters, PhD, author ofMeeting the Dragon "I often refer to the dictionary at the end of this wonderful book to put new words to sacred experiences, fleeting understandings, and the bigger mysteries that seekers have pondered throughout history. The words are like bridges between my little self and my vaster consciousness that is free from fear and open to peace." -Elizabeth Lesser, author ofBroken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Growand cofounder of the Omega Institute "This book is a role call for the soul. Jeff Brown is the kind of writer who invites you to swim in gasoline and then provides a match. This is no self-help book. This is a summons from the mountaintop and from the trenches. I am so grateful for Brown's journey and his absolute genius in writing." -Tama J. Kieves, best-selling author ofThis Time I Dance! Creating the Work You Love "Spiritual erotica! Jeff Brown lays down his soul on these pages for us to see ourselves. In so doing, he demonstrates a rare vulnerability, a wicked sense of humor, and a deeply personal insight into the human condition." -Kathryn Beet, master yoga practitioner and owner of Yoga Space, Toronto "Jeff Brown takes readers on a journey seeking to find his inner self. It is a search for self-fulfillment, a field guide for life, and a quest for the meaning of life." -Eddie Greenspan, QC, criminal lawyer and earnest defender of the presumption of innocence "Soulshapingis a beautiful story of one man's spiritual journey that reveals the inspiring, yet often humbling, path of growth and self-transformation. Jeff Brown offers us a raw, honest, and humorous glimpse into the exploration of self, while also imploring us to celebrate the opening of the heart and the awakening of the soul-no matter where we are directed, what is revealed, or who shows up." -Seane Corn, international yoga instructor and spiritual activist "If you don't have a gut reaction to this book, you may be dead! My heart completely opened up as I felt each page come alive with emotion. It's a must-read for anyone on a spiritual path to identify and discover our powerful and majestic self." -Jewels Johnson, host ofLaw of Attraction Talk Radio "Tired of another by-the-numbers guide to spirituality?Soulshapingis the real deal, a gritty look at the reality of fully inhabiting your life. It may be the only soul-help book I have read that brings spirituality and psychology together in a grounded framework. I love the way Jeff Brown shows us how to shed our emotional debris and ego armor, while at the same time transforming all of it into the lessons we need. Nothing gets lost or misplaced-everything is grist for the soul mill!Soulshapingrepresents the next step in the spiritual transformation of Western culture, a perfect blend of Eastern mysticism and emotional healing. Brilliant and perfectly down to earth at the same time." -Zeydl Hemrend, lawyer and film producer "Jeff Brown takes us on an intimate, compelling, enlivening, and often quite humorous set of adventures with many of today's leading consciousness teachers on his journey to uncovering the deep truths that live at the heart of all spiritual paths." -Robert Gass, EdD, workshop leader, spiritual activist, composer, performer, and recording artist "As a therapist and as a human being, I highly recommendSoulshaping.It is a must-read for anyone wanting to move beyond the profound emotional blocks of early wounding and gradually, very gradually, begin to awaken to increasing levels of self, "Soulshapingdoes an excellent job of demonstrating how we can listen to and follow our soul's guidance in the midst of life."

Jeff Brown has faced his dragons and has emerged from the flames with significant treasures and a soul-centered, refreshingly raw travelogue that is as readable as it is instructive. A brave book this isa book that serves our own journey of awakening and healing, simply by being so unswervingly and nakedly human.
