Item Description
Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet is an evocative examination of how we can respond to suffering, live our fullest lives, and remain open to the full spectrum of our human experience. The successful bidder will receive a copy signed by author Roshi Joan Halifax. Here's a link to an interview about the book with Roshi Halifax conducted by donor Phil Cartwright.
Recounting the experiences of caregivers, activists, humanitarians, politicians, parents, and teachers, incorporating the wisdom of Zen traditions and mindfulness practices, and rooted in Halifax’s groundbreaking research on compassion, Standing at the Edge is destined to become a contemporary classic. A powerful guide on how to find the freedom we seek for others and ourselves, it is a book that will serve us all.
