Summary

This is a uniquely practical, accessible and secular guide to living according to Buddhist principles, written by a well-known Palestine–Israel peace worker and spiritual teacher. It is more than ever needed in these dark times.

"This book is filled with all the wisdom and compassion Stephen has gleaned from years of teaching, healing and peace work in Israel and Palestine." – Jack Kornfield

"deeply nurturing and illuminating" – Jon Kabat-Zinn

This book describes the magical, rich and fulfilled way of living that comes when we act according to Buddhist principles. Mindfulness – or the practice of paying attention to the present moment – is a part of this, but only one part. This book reveals exactly how radical, exciting and life-changing the full picture of Buddhist ideas about concepts such as compassion, joy, detachment and liberation can be. Written in simple, straightforward language, the book contains 50 essays covering every aspect of modern life, ranging from the mundane to the spiritual. Topics include:

  • How to be fulfilled at work 
  • How to relate to money 
  • What mindfulness really means 
  • How to find the magic of the moment 
  • What being authentic means 
  • How to age wisely 
  • How to be friends with your own body 
  • How to step off the treadmill of the daily grind

This book will imbue your life once more with the sense of magic and mystery that you felt as a child; it will allow you to put down the burdens of anxiety, joylessness, restlessness or a judging mind – it will do all this by enabling you to shift your experience of the world in a truly profound way.
