WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING ABOUT
THE SOUL SOLUTION:
From the author of TO HEAL THE EARTH comes a new Book which will inspire and challenge us to meet the problems of our times.  In THE SOUL SOLUTION, British Columbia authors, Bob and Linda Harrington contend that our essence or seed of being has been buried and that renunciation of the superfluous is an essential step to the restoration of our souls.  If we are to move toward a harmony with the ALL, it will be through nurture of our inner selves, through awakening the soul and selflessly offering love, concern and care for the land and all the life it sustains.
 

Reviewers of The Soul Solution comment….
 

The Harrington’s take us on a spiritual journey illuminating the importance of the connectedness between all life forces.  This life force they refer to as a soul force.  It is their belief that this soul force is in everything: plants, animals, humans, earth, water, air and sky, and that it is the rekindling of this soul force in that will save this planet.  This book offers a positive pathway to a future where economics and nature become partners in achieving this solution.  It is a philosophical reflection of the author’s thoughts and beliefs with reference to the greatest philosophers of all times.  Robert Harrington received the 1990 British Columbia Environmental Education Award.

The Harrington’s book provides a philosophical, environmental and spiritual vision for achieving a new harmony of spirit with our planet.

This is a thoughtful discussion of humanity’s place in the scheme of things.  The author offers a gentle critique of our all-consuming focus on material things and lack of respect for Mother Nature.  Without being preachy, this book supplies an alternative perspective to the normal push for progress and prosperity.  A sophisticated read and an inspiring read.  The message is very important and this book is worth having in the library collection.  Highly recommended for senior high school libraries.

“Highly Recommended….
Canadian Robert Harrington proposes a theology of the Earth that would foster the appropriate changes in human attitudes and behavior towards our home planet. (This publication liked the book so much that they  reprinted Chapter Nine in their Dec. 2000 issue.)

If you are looking for some thought-provoking commentary on our world and its ways: then read The Soul Solution,….Harrington gives the reader searching for environmental solutions and sense, a deep-thinking ride.  The book isn't for everyone, but those with a concern for our environment, and for mankind in general may well enjoy this offering of The Soul Solution. 
          Garry Allison, Lethbridge Herald, Oct. 14/2000 
 

Just published in May of this year, The Soul Solution …is an intensely personal and intimate view of ourselves, our world, our spirituality and philosophy of being.  Walking a spiritual path with practical feet, Harrington…calls for a rededication to a theology of the earth ….  As you work through this book,… you will have been motivated to thoughtful reflection, to personal commitment to action, and you will come away with a renewed sense of hope for the world.  What more can one ask from a single book?

Written in a flowing style, with generous quotes to support his statements, Harrington makes an impassioned plea for humanity:.

In this extraordinary book, Bob Harrington leads us on an absorbing intellectual and spiritual journey.   This is an inspiring book of one man's personal testament of his relationship with life on earth.  It offers hope for a future that otherwise appears excessively bleak.

From deep in the Canadian Wilderness comes a work of exceeding vision, and profound sympathy, understanding and compassion for our world and for life in all its brilliance.  This work illuminates a spiritual path which all of us must choose if we are to survive.

"I have just finished reading your book, The Soul Solution, with great admiration.  I was fully impressed with the depth and width of your insight as much as with the solid documentation of great thinkers of past and present and East and West.  There is so much to meditate on and digest in your book!  Your message is really of vital importance to the present world.  I really should like, therefore to congratulate you for your great achievement of having published this book and wish you to continue your noble and incalculably valuable work of reminding us of the basic truth of our life."

"As always I marvel at your scholarship and knowledge of earlier thinkers that gives you the enviable ability to present the wisdom of the ages to your readers.  The point is a good one that before modern technology was interposed between humans and Earth, everyone knew from direct experience the value of soil and water, forests and wild organisms.  I found your book useful in ways both educational and inspirational, not least for the lyrical use of good language that the two of you command."

The Soul Solution is not light summer reading….  Its main message is clearly environmental, but unlike the clinical doom and gloom of the David Suzukis of the environmental movement, Harrington tries to imbue a greater purpose than mere survival of our species.
