📝 Description: I'm Spiritual, Dammit!: How to Keep Your Feet on the Ground and Your Head in the Stars

Is it possible to be grounded AND have a rich interior life? Is it possible to get through the day with poise when everything hits the fan? Is it possible to have a spiritual life and not be a wing-nut? For Jen Weigel, the answer to all three questions is a resounding YES. This is an honest, amusing teaching memoir rooted in Weigel's everyday experience as a mother, television personality, and performance artist. Weigel provides 13 common-sense rules for developing a sane and satisfying interior life--ranging from "trust that you are where you are supposed to be in every moment" to "always look for signs,"--to "don't get lost in a guru." What makes this book so fun and refreshing is Weigel's voice--and the fact that, in the words of one of her friends, she is a "magnet for really bizarre sh*t." Whether she is playing chicken with deranged Chicago drivers with "Jesus Saves" bumper stickers, trying to keep those extra pounds off, interviewing celebrities on television, or encountering the spirit of her dead father (who keeps appearing in the guise of a cardinal--a bird, not a prelate), Weigel maintains a zest for learning, living, and loving. Her high-spirited stories illustrate core life principles and convey an immediacy and energy that readers will find delightful.

Weigel’s approach is refreshingly human, avoiding the trap of esoteric elitism by focusing on relatable struggles like deranged drivers and personal loss. Her use of humor makes complex spiritual integration accessible without diluting its depth. However, this book may not suit readers seeking rigorous theological study or those who prefer dense, academic occult philosophy over personal narrative. It is also likely unappealing to individuals who view spirituality as a serious, dogmatic path devoid of levity. Ultimately, it serves as a warm, inviting entry point for the spiritually curious but practically minded.

Exactly as described

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. Glad I finally picked this up.

📜 Historical context

Weigel’s work sits within the lineage of American practical mysticism, echoing the accessible, anti-clerical tone of writers like Ram Dass or Eckhart Tolle, but filtered through contemporary media culture. It bridges the gap between traditional esoteric study and the self-help genre, reflecting a post-modern spirituality that values personal experience and humor over rigid institutional authority or esoteric obscurity.
