Omschrijving
A powerful, personally revelatory, but above all a practical book about how to deal with adversity. This
guide to survival by a Buddhist monk with a troubled back story is the real deal.
Through his own personal experience of transformation from crippling anxiety and depression, Gelong Thubten is a most qualified guide in the journey from darkness and turmoil towards inner peace and positivity. At a time when many of us are experiencing a 'new level of societal fear', everyone can absolutely benefit from this accessible and supportive life handbook.
No one is more brilliant at bringing you out of the dark and into the light.
This is a timely and practical guide to help us navigate the fear and challenges of the times upon us. Uplifting and empowering!
This book helps us with one of the most important aspects of our time and human existence - how we can go inside ourselves to find peace, happiness and learn about ourselves. Only by going inwards and becoming comfortable with all our emotions can we enjoy life more and enhance our contributions to the world. It is written in such an enticing and accessible manner that it really is indispensable for this journey we should all take into ourselves.
This is the anti-self-help book that everyone should be reading. Thubten shows us that life's most important lessons are often hard won, and that embracing these experiences, while difficult, offers a path to freedom. A courageous book that inspires by example.
