Dr. Paul Hourihan makes the elevating ideas of mysticism* found in all the scriptures, especially Vedanta, more accessible by showing their practicality and relevance. One way he does this is through spiritual biographies that explore the mysticism in the lives of well-known figures such as: Ramakrishna and Christ; literary mystics such as Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and William Blake,** and other potential mystics such as Ralph Waldo Emerson,** Thomas Merton and Bill Wilson, the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Vedanta has within it all the essentials of mysticism. Although it focuses on the Advaita (impersonal, nondualistic) path to enlightenment, Vedanta also includes the dualistic or personal/ devotional approach.
