Original Goodness is a practical commentary on the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing how to translate it into daily living with the aid of spiritual practices. Written by Eknath Easwaran, the book was originally published in the United States in 1989.

Subsequent editions of the book have been published in the US and India, and foreign (non-English) editions have also been published in several languages.[1][2][3][4][5] The book's original subtitle was Strategies for uncovering your hidden spiritual resources. In its second edition in 1996, as part of a 3-book series entitled Classics of Christian Inspiration[6] the book was subtitled Eknath Easwaran on the beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount.

Across its various editions, Original Goodness has been reviewed in newspapers,[7][8][9][10] magazines,[11][12][13][14] and professional journals.[15]
