The book cites spiritual premises from all the major religious traditions which point to 'brokenness' as the point at which human consciousness encounters the divine.  As humans we yearn for control, but we are powerless.  We cling to constancy, but everything changes.  We long to be whole, to be filled, to be complete, but we often feel empty and lacking.  We go to great ends to avoid pain, and by so doing, create exceedingly complicated and painful situations for ourselves.  Perhaps at the most fundamental level, we search for some solution to avoid our inevitable mortality, or at least make some sense of our time here on earth.
