Dear Reader,

We've always tried here at Soft Skull to be open to every possible genre, insisting only that they present a meaningful alternative to the existing options, and that they add something where nothing was before.

In that spirit, we present our first self-help book, Urban Soul Warrior. City life can be hectic, fast-paced, jarring to the senses. Many urban souls feel the stirrings of spirituality but don’t have the tools they need to create deeper, more meaningful connections— with themselves and with the world around them. Urban Soul Warrior is an interactive book about living an extraordinary and powerful life, becoming aware of the miraculous state of existence we live in, and using that awareness to live fully, completely, and magnificently.

Both a workbook and a space for writing, the book provides simple and effective insights, advice, and creative exercises that are designed to infuse readers’ lives with rich meaning and beauty. Urban Soul Warrior (Soft Skull Press / Counterpoint; Trade Paper; January 2009; $15.95; 978-1-59376-212-4) provides simple and effective insight, advice, and creative exercises to change readers’ everyday experiences, offering skills to transform five aspects of our lives:

• Got Soul? (connecting with your deepest self)
• Mind your Temple (nurturing and healing your precious body)
• Elevate your Mental (using your mind to consciously create your life)
• Cosmic Love (creating loving, healthy relationships/ sexuality)
• Prolific Profits (creating abundance consciousness and wealth)

Ancient and modern beliefs and practices are intertwined with Simone's funky urban style in this introduction to a new kind of spirituality. The techniques provided are designed to help readers take charge of their own lives and experience fulfillment, even in what sometimes feels like a spiritual desert. The book functions not only as a workbook, with specific Warrior Work writing exercises and meditations, but also as a sacred space for writing—readers are encouraged to write anywhere and everywhere inside it, making it their own.

Urban Soul Warrior gives a new generation of readers the tools to overcome feelings of guilt and worthlessness, to master their souls, minds, and bodies in an urban world of endless beauty, danger, and possibility.

Author Bio:
Lalania Simone is an author, artist, and spiritual seeker. She grew up in a tough inner-city neighborhood, gaining both street savvy and educational opportunities. Her early questioning of religious dogma launched her lifelong spiritual journey. She has spent the last ten years working with those who seek the tools to make a deeper connection with themselves and the universe. She has lived in and experienced both the grit and soul of cities such as San Diego, Denver, and Brooklyn. The fusion of Lalania's esoteric knowledge and her experience in urban society creates a unique Urban Soul Warrior perspective.

So let us know if you's like a review copy, or if we can answer any questions or put you in touch with Lalania.
