In today's fractured world we're constantly flooded with breaking news that cause anger, grief, and pain. People feel so burnt out and overwhelmed that they end up frozen in their tracks and can't do anything. Salzberg teaches us that meditation is not a replacement for action, but rather a way to practice generosity with ourselves and summon the courage to break through boundaries, reconnect to a movement that's bigger than ourselves, and have the energy to stay active. Whether you're resolving conflicts with a crotchety neighbor or combating global warming, her fundamental principles and mindfulness practices will lead to the clarity and confidence that lets us lift a foot and take our next step into a better world. -- adapted from jacket
