Pacific Book Review commends “Enrichment of the Self and Soul” by Richard J. Choura

Pacific Book Review is the recipient of the “Honoring Excellence” and “Best Websites for Authors” awards by the Association of Independent Authors and a member of the National Book Critics Circle and the National Education Association. Also, it achieves the highest honor from Ezine Articles and receives “Expert Author Status.”

Pacific Book Review wrote in the review that “With his book Enrichment of the Self and Soul, author Richard J. Choura looks at the concept of ‘the self’ from a nearly endless number of different angles. As an introduction, Choura invites readers to enrich themselves and souls “by joining spiritual thinking and aesthetic vision with the sacred, cultural, and scientific.” With this deeply thought-out book, Choura hits all these points, and then some.” 

The author, Richard Choura, was born in Hartford, Connecticut. He has been married to Patricia Blackett, an artist, for the last twenty years and has two sons. He attended various universities and graduated with a mechanical engineering degree. He later pursued graduate courses at the University of Hartford and the University of New Haven and attained the status of “professional engineer.” He also worked as a consultant engineer for many well-known consulting engineering firms and Fortune 500 companies in many states.

His achievements continued, as he is also a four-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force and served as a U.S. Air Traffic Controller for three years at Bangor, Maine, which is now an international airport.

Richard Choura has always loved to write about topics such as self, spirituality, aesthetics, science, philosophy, and literature. His well-written book, “Enrichment of the Self and Soul,” took him six years to write and definitely serves its great purpose, which will change the lives of its readers. 

“Enrichment of the Self and Soul” presents new insights for improving yourself and your soul by bringing together spiritual thought and aesthetic vision with the holy, cultural, and scientific realms of knowledge.

Here’s an excerpt from the book review written by Pacific Book Review that highlights:

“One thing Choura does especially well is mix the scientific with the spiritual, without emphasizing one over the other. Many might suggest religion and science are at opposite ends of the intellectual spectrum, but Choura realizes it takes multiple types of thinking to even begin to get a handle on what the self is all about. In addition to quotes from respected scientists, Choura also shares the words of the very secular author, Henry Miller, as well as the spiritual mystic, William Blake. All views add insight, and insight is specifically what Choura is going for with his book.

Choura writes how “this book empowers the reader to harness the power of self with spirituality so that they can find a deeper meaning in life that they are looking for in spirituality.” Make no mistake about it, this book goes deep. There’s no way to breeze through its 141 pages and expect to receive full benefit from it. Rather, expect to read certain passages slowly or a few times. These words are intended to be absorbed and then allowed to saturate the mind and soul of the reader.”
