A Pack of Ideas: A Devotional for the Un-Devoted

In the U.S., and perhaps the world, there is an increase in nones, people who claim no religious affiliation. Many are either rejecting religion and/or they are searching.
And we can confidently speculate that there are millions of people whose connection to a claimed religion may be loose, at best. Yet, many people would identify themselves as spriritual, with or without religion.

Regardless of designation or category, people in all walks of life enjoy daily routines and rituals. We reach for activities that ground and stabilize us. For some, their religion provides a daily devotional. What about those who don’t hang with a particular religion; yet, they too would like to carve a little time each day to interact with ideas or to locate a spiritual center? Is the devotional experience exclusive to the devout?

This devotional provides 365 entries designed to provoke philosophical thought and personal reflection, across a variety of worldviews. It is deductive, beginning with foundational philosophy, leading to a greater portion of practical considerations for daily life– everything from ideas about reality and consciousness to discussions about relationships, purpose, and happiness. The content leans heavily on psychology and social science.

It is a companion for the curious, open mind.
