Publisher's Summary
Many of us live on autopilot, often so guarded that we don't experience the potential richness that life has to offer. How can we find real happiness amidst the chaos, where we don't reach our life's end and feel we missed out?
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 comes only when we've peeled back the layers of guarding that prevent us from being our full, honest and integrated selves in the world.
Muscara demonstrates 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 family, our communities and our world.

Spectacular
I absolutely loved this book. Cory found a way to make all the things that we hear and read are good for us REAL. The examples were applicable and the way everything was explained resonated with me so much. It was so well read by Cory himself who gave emphasis to the right things and brought his point across so well.
I'm on to listening to it for the third time and I've introduced it to my husband and Mom who have both loved it.
I would strongly recommend giving this book a listen/ read.
Cory, please write another one! Your views and messages are brilliant!

Presence made simple
Feels like this book puts many things I've been learning throughout the past couple of years in one place. Very practical yet with profound teachings. Loved the attention given to period cycles and cycles overall. Something that's really missing in the way we lead our lives nowadays. Also, Cory' s voice is very pleasant to listen to. Thank you for making your teachings available in this format as well 🙏

Not your ordinary self help book
I first hear of Cory Muscara when being interviewed on the Raj Jana podcast Stay Grounded and within minutes of that ending, had purchased Stop Missing Your Life and had it downloaded. Cory is a great story teller and I was fascinated by his experiences in Burma, but while some of the book draws on that experience, it is all about living your best life right here where you are standing now, unless you are standing in a remote Burmese temple right now... still read it anyway, you can't go wrong!
The book is not something to listen to in the bus, train or while driving - sure you can and some of it is easily consumable in those situations, but the book is littered with practical exercises that you are going to want to get involved in. There are also heaps of additional resources to support these exercises on his website so you don't have to remember which exercise is in which chapter.
I really enjoyed the book, it's easy to listen too, the exercises are practical for beginners to medication and this type of mindfulness training, but it's not just for beginners, a seasoned meditator and mindfulness practitioner will get value and a new perspective as well.
Ironically the book teachers presence and presence is what you want to bring to this book. I learnt a lot and am putting into practice a lot of the exercises. I hope your experience is as good as mine.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

In Girl, Stop Apologizing, number-one New York Times best-selling author and founder of a multimillion-dollar media company, Rachel Hollis sounds a wake-up call. She knows that many women have been taught to define themselves in light of other people - whether as wife, mother, daughter, or employee....

Why is The Book of Enoch so important to anyone interested in Biblical history? The answer is simple: It is directly quoted in the New Testament by Jude (vv.14-15). Themes of the book referenced in 2 Peter 2:1. Jesus also used content from The Book of Enoch in many of his sermons in Matthew and Luke. In this text, you will hear the word of God through this amazing document. We will take this amazing journey together and learn why this text is not an official book of the Bible.

The secret to happiness is to acknowledge and transform suffering, not to run away from it. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh offers practices and inspiration transforming suffering and finding true joy. Thich Nhat Hanh acknowledges that because suffering can feel so bad, we try to run away from it or cover it up by consuming. We find something to eat or turn on the television. But unless we’re able to face our suffering, we can’t be present and available to life, and happiness will continue to elude us.

Whether taken as a book of faith or a cultural artifact, the New Testament is among the most significant writings the world has ever known, its web of meaning relied upon by virtually every major writer in the last 2,000 years. Yet the New Testament is not only one of Western civilization’s most believed books, but also one of its most widely disputed, often maligned, and least clearly understood, with a vast number of people unaware of how it was written and transmitted.
