Book excerpt: The perennially helpful guide to transforming our pains and difficulties into opportunities for genuine joy and personal growth, from the beloved Buddhist nun and author of When Things Fall Apart We all want to be fearless, joyful, and fully alive. And we all know that it’s not so easy. We’re bombarded every day with false promises of ways to make our lives better—buy this, go here, eat this, don’t do that; the list goes on and on. But Pema Chödrön shows that, until we get to the heart of who we are and really make friends with ourselves, everything we do will always be superficial. In this perennial self-help bestseller, Pema offers down-to-earth guidance on how we can go beyond the fleeting attempts to “fix” our pain and, instead, to take our lives as they are as the only path to achieve what we all yearn for most deeply—to embrace rather than deny the difficulties of our lives. These teachings, framed around fifty-nine traditional Tibetan Buddhist maxims, point us directly to our own hearts and minds, such as “Always meditate on whatever provokes resentment,” “Be grateful to everyone,” and “Don’t expect applause.” By working with these slogans as everyday meditations, Start Where You Are shows how we can all develop the courage to work with our own inner pain and discover true joy, holistic well-being, and unshakeable confidence.

Book excerpt: Whether people have planned for their "golden years" or haven't given them much thought, Ruth Hayden, nationally known educator and financial consultant, says that it is never too early or too late to control one's financial present or create a secure future. The author notes that the perpetual vacation after age sixty-five will not be the retirement model for most people in the 21st century. She provokes the readers to think about what they really want for their lives -- guiding them to create a personal life vision to bring balance to the physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial aspects of life. Ruth encourages the readers to take charge of their lives, developing a realistic plan for a successful, fulfilling retirement.Ruth assists the reader to, "Start Where You Are -- at age thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy or beyond to plan for the rest of your life."

Sample Book Insights: #1 We have everything we need. We don’t need to improve ourselves. All the trips we lay on ourselves, the heavy-duty fearing that we’re bad and hoping that we’re good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy, and the addictions of all kinds - none of these things touch our basic wealth. #2 The practice of meditation, called shamatha-vipashyana, helps us to know ourselves. It helps us to know our rough parts and our smooth parts, our passion, aggression, ignorance, and wisdom. #3 In shamatha-vipashyana meditation, we sit upright with legs crossed and eyes open, hands resting on our thighs. We simply become aware of our breath as it goes out. We are not grasping or fixating on it, but instead we are opening and letting it mix with the space around us. #4 The lojong practice is based on the notion that we can make friends with what we reject, and that we can share our joy and insights with others. It encourages us to embrace what we experience, instead of fearing that it will end.
