Given the state of the world these days, many of us are asking: Can
anyone (everyone) learn to be wiser and kinder? Meeting the Moment with
Kindness offers a resounding yes, as well as a roadmap for cultivating
seven aspects of mindfulness that can help us access our inherent
wisdom, stability and compassion. Our effort to develop mindfulness is
not a small or simple undertaking, but one that is urgently needed. Many
of us desire to slow down, quiet the mind and attain greater contact
with our lives, but we get stuck in habits and behaviors that don't
support our aspirations. This book can help us get unstuck by exploring
three fundamental questions: How do we develop the inner resources
needed to care for ourselves and our world mindfully? What stands in the
way of living mindfully, seeing clearly and acting wisely? How do we
meet our obstacles with curiosity and compassion? Through wisdom
teachings, personal stories and evidence-based research, Meeting the
Moment with Kindness offers a pragmatic framework for developing
mindfulness and befriending the inevitable obstacles on our path.
