How can we become effective communicators through the written word? Can the practice of writing truly change a life?

Those are just a few of the questions writer and speaker Albert Flynn DeSilver addresses is his new book "Writing as a Path to Awakening: A Year to Becoming an Excellent Writer and Living an Awakened Life."

DeSilver joins Beth Ruyak in studio to talk about his journey from suicidal alcoholic to spiritual teacher and author, and why he believes there is a unique relationship between creativity and spirituality.
