The acclaimed author of Conversations with God offers a radical solution to our social and spiritual alienation.

Our modern era is plagued by alienation. We find ourselves increasingly divided across political, economic, social, and spiritual lines. This "us vs. them" mindset separates us not only from our friends and loved ones, but also from our hopes and dreams. We are turning against each other, rather than to each other, just when we need each other the most. Neal Donald Walsch invites us to question our basic assumptions about ourselves, each other, and God, in order to rethink the very definition of humanity. In The Essential Path, he challenges every human to make a Daring Decision: to look at who we are and how we can choose to be in a planet-altering new way. With insight and spiritual perceptivity, Walsch peers into the heart of a broken, divided society, prompting us to ask the critical questions that have the power to transform our world.

Neale Donald Walsch

"Deep inside you know Who You Truly Are. We all do. It's not a question of discovering it, it's a question of claiming it. Being it. And that's actually easier done than said. We're all just one decision away from The Essential Path. It's a path that could change a world that deeply yearns for a new direction." - Neale Donald Walsch, author, The Essential Path

Our modern era is plagued by increasing alienation-we are seeing an "us against them" world. Everywhere we turn, we find ourselves divided from each other as never before across political, economic, social, and spiritual lines. As humanity is being torn apart right before our eyes-separating many of us from our friends and even our loved ones, from our hopes and dreams, from the natural world, and from so much that gives meaning and value to our lives-people are blaming everyone and everything around them for the collective problems that we have created ourselves. We are turning against each other, rather than to each other, just when we need each other the most.
