About the Book Today's young women are smart, educated, career-oriented, and maybe a little bit fashion-obsessed. So where does the spiritual life fit in? With InStyle magazine on one nightstand, and Julian of Norwich on the other, author Donna Freitas has her finger on the pulse of a new generation of women and understands the spiritual issues that most concern them. Drawing on the stories of popular heroines such as Bridget Jones and Carrie Bradshaw, Becoming a Goddess of Inner Poise illustrates how our life choices can have a profoundly spiritual dimension--in the bedroom, the boardroom, the beach, and at Barney's. Freitas combines wisdom from a variety of spiritual traditions and with a generous dash of humor, giving modern women a new model for the spiritual journey.

Donna Freitas is a professor of spirituality at Saint Michael's College in Colchester, Vermont, and the owner of an enviable shoe collection. Her research and speaking center on pop culture and women's spirituality.
