Publisher's Synopsis
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.
