Stop Missing Your Life

How to be Deeply Present in an Un-Present World

De: Cory Muscara

Narrado por: Cory Muscara

Many of us live on autopilot, often so guarded that we don't experience the richness that life has to offer–so how can we find real happiness amid the chaos, so we don't reach the end of our life and feel like we missed it?

In Stop Missing Your Life, mindfulness teacher Cory Muscara takes us on a journey into the heart of what is required for real change, growth, and happiness. He exposes how the phrase "be present" has become little more than a platitude, imbued with the misguided message to be present just for the sake of being present, and reveals how to achieve true Presence: a quality of being that is unmistakably attractive about a person, and one that only comes when we've peeled back the layers of guarding that prevent us from being our full, honest, and integrated selves in the world.

Muscara shows how we build internal walls, what he describes as a "Pain Box" inhibiting us from living a deeply connected and meaningful life. He offers a four-part FACE model (Focus, Allow, Curiosity, and Embodiment) that helps chip away at those walls and builds our capacity to experience the richness of our lives Stop Missing Your Life ultimately teaches how we can find peace in the chaos and become better people for our families, our communities, and our world.

Phenomenal

I was introduced to Cory through Simple Habit, where I learned to stick to meditating for the first time after many years of trying on my own. Like his content on Simple Habit, Cory’s audiobook is filled with wonderful analogies to learn from, great practices that are practical for those with stress/anxiety/busy schedules/new to meditation and it’s conveyed with tones of love and patience that he wants you to have for yourself. I appreciate the tools, wisdom and inspiration he has shared in his book from the many lessons he has learned over the years.

The only negative has nothing to do with him, but there are several skips in the audio. Didn’t bug me enough to remove a star but I could certainly imagine it could be frustrating for some listeners.

Not just another mindfulness book

This is different, since Cory is a professional meditator with first hand experience in a real Buddhist monastery. He keeps you interested all the way, even if much of the stuff has been said before. He points to good resources to aid in meditation practice.

Fantastic!

Listen to this book!

Listen and you will find yourself starting over again from the beginning when it’s done. It’s that good. Then go find Cory’s Instagram and his website, and take his meditation retreat courses. And watch your life transform. I can’t really explain in the right words how much this positively impacted me. You have to experience it yourself. Listen.
