Are you ready to connect with others soul to soul? Are you ready to embrace and reveal true authenticity? Dr. Robert Forman, Founder and Director of the Forge Institute for Spirituality & Social Change and one of the world's leading experts in the study of Mysticism, returns to the show to talk honestly and spontaneously with host Susan Larison Danz. Robert just launched the new Soul Jazz program, bringing soul to life and relationships. A reflection of his fascinating 39-year+ journey of personal spiritual enlightenment, Robert's highly acclaimed memoir Enlightenment Ain't What It's Cracked Up to Be: A Journey of Discovery, Snow and Jazz in the Soul  was praised as "definitely chicken soup for the spiritual seeker's soul" by Jack Canfield. The lessons Robert has to convey are intensely personal and heartfelt, yet also reflect his 20 years experience as a Professor of Comparative Religions, with a PhD from Columbia University and professorships at City University of New York and Vassar College. He is the author of over 10 books, as well as the Co-Founder of the Journal on Consciousness Studies.
