“In this one-of-a-kind celebration of singing with others, I’d call her pitch nearly perfect.”—The Atlantic For Stacy Horn, regardless of what is going on in the world or her life, singing in an amateur choir—the Choral Society of Grace Church in New York—never fails to take her to a place where hope reigns and everything good is possible. She’s not particularly religious, and her voice is not exceptional (so she says), but like the 32.5 million other chorus members throughout this country, singing makes her happy. Horn brings us along as she sings some of the greatest music humanity has ever produced, delves into the dramatic stories of conductors and composers, unearths the fascinating history of group singing, and explores remarkable discoveries from the new science of singing, including all the unexpected health benefits. Imperfect Harmony is the story of one woman who has found joy and strength in the weekly ritual of singing and in the irresistible power of song.

This is a self-help book with soul. Soul is not something we have, soul has to do with what we are, with inner quality, not outward expression or success or achievement. Soul is not about getting happiness, but about dwelling in melancholic enjoyment. The way of soul is a middle way between sensualism or materialism (consumerism) on one hand and effete spirituality and religiosity, or abstract modes of reflection including philosophizing and theologizing, on the other. We see soul alive in art and hear it in good music and we sing along with it in our favorite songs. Soul is not spirit or an idea, it is sensibility. Finding harmony has to do with developing sensibility, which we need to be able to distinguish from being religious, having ideas and beliefs, purpose-driven living, self-help techniques, and so on. Soul is deadened by techniques, tech-speak, and method, because soul is tied to creativity and inspiration and the power of now. With this book I hope to open my readers to soul and soulfulness as the primary business of life.

"…an amazing tale, told in a fast-paced and entertaining style." --Publishers Weekly This authorized biography of contemporary Taoist master Wang Liping (1949-), an 18th generation transmitter of Dragon Gate Taoism, tells the true story of his apprenticeship in Taoist wizardry, as well as the specialized body of knowledge, mystical wisdom and ritualized practice accumulated and refined over eleven centuries. The book opens with a seemingly chance encounter with three Taoist elders that changed Wang's life forever when he was a young boy. What follows is a philosophical quest in a coming-of-age tale like no other, playing out in mountainside temples and remote reaches of China. Wang's story parallels that of the Dalai Lama, as--like Tibetan Buddhists--Dragon Gate Taoists identify, raise and train specially chosen youngsters to become the holders, guardians and transmitters of their ancient, esoteric spiritual wisdom. While few of us will become spiritual gurus like Wang, his story speaks clearly and concisely to modern readers who are on their own "chosen paths," seeking their own forms of self-cultivation, enlightenment, wisdom and a life of greater harmony and truth.
