Jo Confino: Meeting This Moment, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The definitive guide to turbulent times: twenty-one of the world's most respected voices distill lifetimes of hard-won wisdom into one accessible volume Featuring original artwork created in dialogue with each conversation, this is a book to keep close, share generously, and return to whenever life cracks you open

In this rare and timely collection, seasoned journalist Jo Confino and artist Paz Perlman gather respected Buddhist teachers, scientists, artists, and contemplatives of our time for intimate conversations shaped by decades of lived experience.

Together, they explore one urgent question: how do we navigate an age of upheaval---uncertainty, division, rapid change---without losing our footing or our humanity?

Featuring one of Thich Nhat Hanh's final interviews alongside expansive conversations with Jon Kabat-Zinn, Stephen Batchelor, Sharon Salzberg, Sister Jina, Joan Halifax, B. Alan Wallace, Meredith Monk, Sister Chân Đức, Zenju Earthlyn Manuel, Laurie Anderson, Matthieu Ricard, Tara Brach, Ritchie Davidson, Mingyur Rinpoche, Joanna Macy, Robert Thurman, Joseph Goldstein, Ringu Rinpoche, Richard Gere, and Sister Chân Không, this book offers direct access to more than 1, 000 years of collective practice and insight across traditions and cultures.

Inside, readers will discover:

• Thich Nhat Hanh on learning to love better, releasing fear of the future, and why humanity is intelligent enough---but not yet loving enough.
• Tara Brach on healing the trance of unworthiness and discovering the freedom that becomes possible when we stop fighting ourselves.
• Jon Kabat-Zinn on meeting uncertainty without panic, suffering without despair, and life exactly as it is.
• Joan Halifax on death, grief, and what the dying can teach us about living with greater courage, tenderness, and presence.
• Joanna Macy on active hope, ecological grief, and finding the strength to act for a troubled world without losing heart.
• Matthieu Ricard on transforming hatred into compassion and why inner transformation remains one of the most radical acts of our time.
• Richard Gere on awakening in everyday life, spiritual friendship, and remaining committed to what matters most in times of upheaval.
• Sharon Salzberg on loneliness, belonging, and returning to kindness when life breaks your heart.

Whether read cover to cover or opened at random, this is a treasure and a trusted companion for reflection, renewal, and the ongoing work of finding your bearings---again and again---with courage, compassion, and care.
