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

It shows how people in other disciplines and walks of life have enhanced and enriched their self and soul to become more successful, spiritual, and satisfied in life, and how you can do the same.

This masterpiece was praised by the Pacific Book Review, highlighting that “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.”
