Historia
Despite our best-laid plans, life can often be difficult, disappointing, and stressful. Consequently, when things don’t go right, we are often left in a state of emotional chaos, dealing with feelings like anger, anxiety, frustration, and doubt, which can cloud our perspective and negatively affect the way we live our lives. But in this inspiring book, Phillip Moffitt shows us that we need not be at the mercy of our emotions. By cultivating a responsive mind rather than a reactive one, we can achieve a state of emotional clarity.

Here Pema provides the tools to deal with the problems and difficulties that life throws our way. This wisdom is always available to us, she teaches, but we usually block it with habitual patterns rooted in fear. Beyond that fear lies a state of openheartedness and tenderness. This audiobook teaches us how to awaken our basic goodness and connect with others, to accept ourselves and others complete with faults and imperfections, and to stay in the present moment by seeing through the strategies of ego that cause us to resist life as it is.

Historia
As much as we might try to resist, endings happen in every moment—the end of a breath, the end of a day, the end of a relationship, and ultimately the end of life. And accompanying each ending is a beginning, though it may be unclear what the beginning holds. In How We Live Is How We Die, Pema Chödrön shares her wisdom for working with this flow of life—learning to live with ease, joy, and compassion through uncertainty, embracing new beginnings, and ultimately preparing for death with curiosity and openness rather than fear.

Historia
We’ve all heard platitudes about cultivating love and compassion, but how can we really develop these qualities in ourselves and—crucially—share them in our world? Khentrul Rinpoche teaches that regardless of what’s unfolding in our lives, our route to freedom lies in our minds—and how we work with them. The Power of Mind shares instructions that we can work through, one by one—from recognizing the preciousness and impermanence of our lives to avoiding drama and self-centeredness. This wisdom is accessible to anyone seeking inner transformation—Buddhist or not.

Reverse Meditation is for anyone who wants to bring the challenges of life onto the path of awakening. When things get hard, it’s time to turn your practice on its head—and throw out any assumption that meditation exists to insulate you from the confusion, difficulties, and uncertainty of life. “By putting your meditation into reverse,” Holecek teaches, “you’ll actually find yourself going forward. Step into your pain and you can step up your evolution.”

Being-Time thoroughly explores Dogen's teaching on how we practice as Buddhas by understanding the relationship between being and time as it is—and as we perceive it to be. Using Dogen's Shobogenzo Uji (The True Dharma Eye, Being-Time), Shinshu Roberts offers a twofold analysis of this teaching: the meaning of the text and practice with the text, giving examples how we apply Dogen's complex teaching to our daily lives.

Historia
The realm of emotion is one of those areas where Buddhism and Western psychology are often thought to be at odds: Are emotions to be valued, examined, worked with as signs leading us to deeper self-knowledge? Or are they something to be ignored and avoided as soon as we recognize them?

Written in clear, accessible language, this book seeks to free listeners from their suffering by drawing attention to the direct experience of self as abiding, loving, boundless awareness. Using practical exercises and meditations, the author guides listeners through a process of spiritual awakening, deconstructing self-delusions and integrating a new concept of existence that is free from the suffering of individual selfhood, but which acknowledges the attachments, traumatic experiences, and emotional pain of being human.

We live in difficult times. Life so often seems like a turbulent river threatening to drown us and destroy our world. Why, then, shouldn’t we cling to the certainty of the comfortable - to our deep-seated habits and familiar ways? Because, Pema Chödrön teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more powerful experience of being fully alive.

Mention creativity, and what comes to mind? For many of us, creativity is the province of someone with a singular gift toiling away in service to their art. From this perspective, creativity is a solitary endeavor - the struggle of the individual to express their distinctive vision to the world. But what if we looked at creativity through a wider lens, as a dynamic force that animates us and connects us with every being on the planet? From this perspective, creativity is not just a spark igniting the fire of inspiration.

As much as we might try to resist, endings happen in every moment—the end of a breath, the end of a day, the end of a relationship, and ultimately the end of life. And accompanying each ending is a beginning, though it may be unclear what the beginning holds. In How We Live Is How We Die, Pema Chödrön shares her wisdom for working with this flow of life—learning to live with ease, joy, and compassion through uncertainty, embracing new beginnings, and ultimately preparing for death with curiosity and openness rather than fear.

Chop Wood and Carry Water: The Four Noble Truths
What is this book doing, all hiding in the corner of Audible for the past three years with only one other posted review?! 'Dancing with Life' is a true orchid: a well-written, reasonable-length book from a credible author that stimulates reflection and means for self-improvement in the reader for years to come. Simply put, the book is a treatise of Buddhism's Four Noble Truths. You needn't be Buddhist to take to heart these teachings:
- There is suffering in this world.
- Suffering is due to the clinging to desire.
- Suffering can end by ceasing to cling to desire.
- The eight-fold path allows you to realize this cessation.
The author is a former editor-in-chief of Esquire magazine who abandoned his fast-paced, successful career cold turkey to pursue a more meaningful life. A more meaningful life, he found. None of the teachings in this book require leaps of faith. All of these teachings can be applied by atheists, agnostics and believers alike.
As it turns out: editors-in-chief of major national magazines know how to author cogent, well-edited publications. 'Dancing with Life' is no exception: never getting preachy, and never confusing this practice with empirical science, this title was a joy to read from cover to cover. An added bonus is Moffitt's numerous, sublime references to T.S. Eliot's 'Four Quartets' (which I now have on order thanks to 'Dancing').
I have been able to immediately apply the ideas in 'Dancing' to my daily life. I look forward to continuing to practice what I've learned from this title, perhaps for decades to come. Below are my additional pocket notes (tl;dr) for future reference. Enjoy.
_____
- Suffering comes from ignorance
- Mindfulness of body leads to mindfulness of mind
- "Insights are ripened fruits that fall from the tree"
- All my life I've been trained to be the lead in a couple's lead. I must learn how to be the follow as well.
- Eliot: "The time of death is every moment. Do not think of the fruit of action."
- Truth #1: Dukkha (suffering) is present in life at every turn, and we must examine Dukkha consciously.
- Three different dukkhas: physical/emotional pain, constant change, and life's complex compositional nature.
- Bearing your own suffering with compassion and acceptance is like putting wheels under your own wagon.
- Accepting "this is like this:" tatata.
- Stay with your suffering. Be curious about it. Use "beginner's mind," never beliving that you know all there is to know about suffering.
- Truth #2: Craving. "Khanda." The actual act of clinging to desire is the suffering, not what is craved. If the movie is sold out, is your evening ruined?
- Overcoming non-wholesome craving is easy for most people: have morals.
- Overcoming wholesome craving is harder: have morals, use meditation to cultivate wisdom, accept that all outcomes cannot be controlled.
- The proper response to clinging desire is widsom (re: Tao Te Ching). "Allow your tea to cool before drinking."
- Eliot: Teach us to care and not care. Teach us to sit still. Caring without demanding. Love becomes the moment, not the outcome of the moment.
- Ill will, sloth, worry, and doubt prevent the knowing of our suffering.
- Desires come and go. They do not define you.
- Instead of clinging, live your life from your deepest core values at every moment, regardless of outcome.
- Renounce behaviors and attitudes that engender clinging. Three practices: renounce always being right, do not measure your life by how many goals are met, and give up being the star of your own movie. Renounciation is a walk through a desert: it is not easy. Remind yourself why you chose this path.
- The ego knows how to fight to survive--it does so through desire. It doesn't like the thought of death and consoles itself with instant gratification, fame or even suicidal thoughts ("if I can't win, I don't want to play").
- Treat your ego with sympathy; this allows you to see which desires are worth keeping. We are all born with two wolves: the strongest wolf is the one you feed the most.
- Learning your biological reactions to all forms of desire if very helpful.
- Love and desire exist in paradox. Love is not movement, but it can be the catalyst for movement.
- Truth #3: cessation. Once cessation is achieved, you no longer observe cessation: "it just is." Just like becoming fluent in a foreigh language: with years of practice, you stop translating.
- Keep beginner's mind at all times. The "I" no longer dominates. How can you add more to your teacup if it is already perfectly full?
- Insights come only through reflection, and not belief. (Perhaps one of the biggest points in this book.)
- Cessation is a path of practice, not a demand of yourself. You do not get to choose whether you achieve cessation; you (and your ego) need to be okay with that.
- Before cessation: "chop wood and carry water." After cessation: "chop wood and carry water."
- Truth #4: realization through the eight-fold path.
- View. Resolve. Speech. Conduct. Livelihood. Effort. Mindfulness. Meditation.
- You are not being moral based upon a belief system. You are becoming the true realization of yourself.
- One must love the plateaus they hit while on this path.
- The measure of your success is not how often you get what you want, but the skill with which you live every moment of your life.
- Right speech is true, timely and useful. Goals are good for direction, but presence in the moment is what will get you there. Mountain climbers who do not focus on one step at a time fall off the cliff.
- Everyone has one core attachment, be it fear, jealousy, pride, achievement, etc. Identify your attachment, and drop it. This may take years, even decades.
- Eliot: "In order to arrive at what you are not, you must go through the way in which you are not."
- Allow yourself to be happy: "sukkha."
- Three types of happiness: progressive (conditions are right), happy during challenging times, and well-being that is full realization ("nirvana").
- Eliot: "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."

Life changing!
This is the type of book you listen to multiple times at different stages of your growth. There were so many gems! The language was simple and it was easy to listen to while driving or on a run. Although I often found myself wanting to take notes. It's a great book!!!

I couldn’t get past the narrator!
This was painful to listen to. I teach meditation and mindfulness and wanted another perspective on the subject. This content was very basic, beginner level and easy to understand, but was just a very wordy way to explain Buddhist teaching of the Four Nobel Truths. In my opinion it didn’t add a new perspective or content that was relevant, but that’s me. This would be a good introduction for someone not familiar with Buddhist teachings, if the narrator was better. The hardest part was the narrator’s tone. I am certain he was just reading the information and trying to provide inflection and emphasis, but it was awful! I don’t think he had any concept of the material he was readying, very dry. I couldn’t finish it and I returned the book. Something I rarely do.
