Launching his book Shapes of Truth: Discover God Inside You, Neal Allen is joined by his wife, author Anne Lamott, in a freewheeling romp through the book, their divergent spiritual paths, ways of writing, and approaches to Covid times as newlyweds.

Hidden in your body is a set of 35 divine objects that represent aspects of God. They can grant immediate and sustained relief from everyday suffering. Shapes of Truth unveils this remarkable discovery and provides step-by-step instructions for encountering them yourself. With parallels in Platonism philosophy and Sufi mysticism, these eternal body-forms are trippy and wondrous.

Neal Allen is a coach and writer who studies and practices traditional and contemporary spiritual paths. His private coaching practice blends standard psychodynamics with spirituality methods. Earlier careers included newspaper journalism and corporate marketing for large public companies. He lives in Northern California with his wife, the author Anne Lamott.
