Take heart. Ezra Bayda has good news: life's challenges aren't obstacles to our path--they are the path. Understanding that liberates us to use every aspect of what life presents us with as a way to live with integrity and authenticity--and joy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this, as in all his books, Ezra's teaching is Zen made wonderfully practical, in a way that can apply to anyone's life. Meditation is the foundation, but it doesn't stop there. It's about learning to take the practice of presence we cultivate in meditation to all the rest of our complicated lives. Doing that empowers us to navigate our journey with the integrity and authenticity that are what a satisfying life is all about.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611800920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.58w x 0.54d","brand":"Ezra Bayda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52715441881269,"sku":"9781611800920","price":18.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-authentic-life-zen-wisdom-for-living-free-from-complacency-and-fear-9781611800920","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
