NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - This inspiring guide to healing and
growth illuminates the richness and potential of every life, even in the
face of loss and adversity--now updated with additional toolbox
materials and a new preface by the author****
In the more than twenty-five years since she co-founded Omega
Institute--now the world's largest center for spiritual retreat and
personal growth--Elizabeth Lesser has been an intimate witness to the
ways in which people weather change and transition. In a beautifully
crafted blend of moving stories, humorous insights, practical guidance,
and personal memoir, she offers tools to help us make the choice we all
face in times of challenge: Will we be broken down and defeated, or
broken open and transformed? Lesser shares tales of ordinary people who
have risen from the ashes of illness, divorce, loss of a job or a loved
one--stronger, wiser, and more in touch with their purpose and passion.
And she draws on the world's great spiritual and psychological
traditions to support us as we too learn to break open and blossom into
who we were meant to be.
