"This process, of being attuned and present to the totality of ourselves,
combined with a mind that is compassionate and calm, leads to a very
deep sense of peace, as well as an ability to move fluidly with the constantly changing landscape of our lives and the world." From the very start, this author gets at a deep truth about the human condition--that we long to know ourselves and to be known, but that we are simultaneously terrified and ill-equipped to deal with the consequences of this kind of vulnerability. Without sugar-coating it, the author tells readers that the road to a life of "presence" will be marked by the pain of confronting trauma, but will also be worth it in the end. I look forward to reading this book!
