For Modern Spiritual Seekers  
If you're a person who believes, values, or longs for the spiritual, and you want a modern "guidebook" of sorts, to help navigate the world in a soulful yet open-minded way, this just may be a great book for you.

I (being one of those people) was thoroughly delighted by her wisdom, and found it to be a very mature and intelligent pondering on the "better angels of our nature."

Huffington breaks down human motives into four basic instincts: 1) survival 2) power 3) sex, 4) "the call of the soul." The book is based on the philosophy that the path to true enlightenment and a happy, meaningful existence is to let all four work in harmony, with the fourth "taking the wheel," so to speak, keeping the first three in check when they get out of control.

More a spiritual companion than a subscription to one religion (she draws on a variety, eastern and western), it's enlightening for the spiritual seeker, without insulting the intelligence of the modern mind (though if you're strictly atheist, I don't think you'll like it very much).

She may CLAIM that this fourth instinct is vital, but her book seems more apt to undermine than strengthen it.
