| book description |

This book examines what people mean when they say they are â€œspiritualâ€. It looks at the semantics of â€œspiritualityâ€, the visibility of reasons for â€œspiritualâ€ preference in biographies, in psychological dispositions, in cultural differences between Germany and the US, and in gender differences. It also examines the kind of biographical consequences that are associated with â€œspiritualityâ€. The book reports the results of an online-questionnaire filled out by 773 respondents in Germany and 1113 in the US, personal interviews with a selected group of more than 100 persons, and an experiment. Based on the data collected, it reports results that are relevant for a number of scientific and practical disciplines. It makes a contribution to the semantics of everyday religious language and to the cross-cultural study of religion and to many related fields as well, because â€œspiritualityâ€ is evaluated in relation to personality, mysticism, well-being, religious styles, generativity, attachment, biography and atheism. The book draws attention to the â€“ new and ever changing â€“ ways in which people give names to their ultimate concern and symbolize their experiences of transcendence.
