Beloved mindfulness teacher, best-selling author, and longtime Buddhist practitioner Susan Kaiser Greenlanddraws from science, psychology, Buddhism, wisdom traditions, and personal stories to offer a view of “real-world enlightenment”—where we shift from a narrow survival-driven frame of mind to one that is grounded and as vast as the sky. When we cultivate this expansive worldview from the inside out, we become more resilient, and we are able to build a kinder and more resilient world. To help us do this, she offers valuable methods and  takeaways that allow you to apply these life-changing universal themes every day. They include:

• Practical ways to recognize the basic goodness within and around you by tapping into sensory pleasures like music or nature.
• Robust tools to manage stress and develop attention by focusing on a sight, sound, image, word, or phrase.
• Catchy slogans that promote emotional balance when you feel overwhelmed, like “right now, I’m okay,” “drop the baggage,” or “don’t play the scene before you get there.”
• Accessible meditation methods to experience life with greater equanimity by slowing down your thinking process to heighten awareness of the natural movement of your mind.
