While the author includes non-Western traditions, the overall framing—individual journey, choice, self-improvement—is distinctly modern and Western. The book struggles to fully convey traditions where “spirituality” is not a separate domain from community, ancestry, or land. The chapter on African diaspora religions, for example, feels rushed and slightly exoticized.
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
