I recently had the pleasure of delving into "Finding Your Way," a beautifully crafted gift book authored by Sharon Salzberg, the renowned meditation teacher whose wisdom has touched countless lives. From the moment I started the book, I was immersed in a world of serenity and optimism.
This book, composed of a series of concise and inspiring entries, serves as a gentle reminder that tranquility and personal progress can be attained through a multitude of avenues. The author offers sage advice, encouraging us to focus on "doing the good that is in front of us." It's in these simple yet profound words that the seeds of calm and self-improvement are sown.
As I continued my journey through the book, I found myself captivated by excerpts from interviews with compassionate leaders, heartfelt quotes from individuals admired by the author, and practical meditation guidance. These passages illuminated the path towards inner peace, reaffirming the idea that each of us is inherently on the right track, charting our unique course through life.
What truly distinguishes "Finding Your Way" is the thoughtfully integrated visual experience. Every piece of wisdom, whether it be a poignant quote or a brief essay, is presented in a visually soothing manner. The book is adorned with numerous four-color illustrations that effortlessly enhance and elevate the reader's engagement with the content. These illustrations add an extra layer of inspiration to the already profound messages contained within the book's pages.
In the midst of life's hustle and bustle, "Finding Your Way" is a precious gem, offering solace, encouragement, and the promise of a brighter journey ahead. It's a reminder that, indeed, we possess the capacity to find our own way towards a more fulfilling and tranquil existence. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone seeking to infuse their life with the grace of meditation and the wisdom of a revered teacher.
Any book with Sharon Salzberg’s name on it is worth having. Open to any page and expect a moment in that moment.
Thank you to NetGalley and Workman Publishing Group for an ARC of this book.
This is a lovely book of Sharon Salzberg’s thoughts on issues ranging from perfectionism to feeling overwhelmed to lovingkindness, applied to others and oneself, to the illusion that we are in control … Open the book at random to read a thought of the day or dive into a short essay on a specific topic — choose your own adventure!
Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced reader copy.
I can’t express enough how much this book mean to me. It’s perfectly compiled and well written. The contents give more than anyone could think of.
The entire energy this book gives is more than anything in the world when you desperately search for something you can rely on to feel okay about everything that is going on in your life. Things do get overwhelming and exhausting. But this is the perfect book if you are looking for something that would help you the most rather than social media or anyone else.
I assure you books like this make me help reflect most about myself than any advice another person can offer. The company of loved ones is a must but also books like this are a must next to you.
This book is all about kindness, purpose, appreciation and calmness. It’s everything for me now.
Thank you, Workman Publishing Company, for the advance reading copy.
Give me all the books that Sharon writes. I always feel inspired reading them! This one is no exception. Lovingkindess, learning how to find your way post pandemic, and more. I just loved the content. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
As she has for so long, Sharon Salzberg invites readers to find a new lens through which to apply mindfulness and spiritual practice to everyday life, which for so many, is a challenge. Sharon is always inspiring, and no less so here. A great new addition to her corpus.
This is a consolidated Sharon Salzberg life quote book. You can open it anywhere and receive your passage for today. Sharon's meditation courses are well respected and her lovingkindness meditations a cornerstone of awareness and forgiveness.
A short book with passages including conversations with other spiritual thinkers, this could be carried around in your back pocket for inspiration at any time.
Thanks to Net Galley for the eARC.
