Description

When faced with difficult change or painful loss, it can be tempting to remain stagnant. Yet, this risk can ultimately prove more painful than embracing the uncertainty and taking a chance on growth.

Elizabeth Lesser shares personal stories of transformation, as well as those of her students and loved ones, exploring the complexities of life's biggest challenges - from death and illness to relationships and work. Woven throughout are insightful quotes from great poets and philosophers, offering practical guidance for navigating adversity.

Through a combination of meditation, psychological enquiry, and spiritual practice, Lesser shows how it is possible to break free from the pain of adversity, rather than being broken down by it. This thought-provoking book offers a valuable toolbox for anyone seeking to cultivate resilience and inner growth in the face of life's challenges.
