Description: Merging the insights of inspiring voices with her own understanding of mindfulness New York Times bestselling author Sharon Salzberg shows us how we can recover from the emotional effects of crisis. When confronted with pain and obstacles we often shrink back and contract out of fear and disappointment. That can become a way of life. In Real Life Sharon Salzberg lets us know it doesn t have to be that way. When we feel alone cut off or trapped we can let those difficulties steer us onto a path toward an authentic flourishing life living in a way that allows us to find the wholeness that lies within. Even when we re alone a sense of community can accompany us through the stormy times. Our words hearts and actions can line up with a larger vision rather than the smaller views our anxious fearful thoughts arouse in us. To live in a less constricted way with a more spacious open sense of possibility creativity connection and joy Salzberg says we need to get real about what's most important to ask ourselves What do I most deeply yearn for? What would I benefit from letting go of? What do I believe is possible for me? We accomplish the journey to expansive freedom (Real Life) through developing tools like mindful awareness friendship and a greater sense of purpose/aspiration. We learn to: take some risks with what we dare to imagine take an interest in internal states we might normally try to avoid take an interest in people we might normally try to avoid Real Life is about the journey we make when we decide to live the life that speaks to our innermost longing to live free.
