Patience by Allan Lokos

Patience by Allan Lokos

To survive the roller-coaster ride of life, with its ever-changing shifts from pleasure to pain, gain to loss, and praise to blame, requires a substantial depth of patience. In this life-changing book, Allan Lokos sheds new light on this much-sought-after state of mind, and provides a road map for cultivating greater patience in one's life.

According to Lokos, to develop a depth of patience we must first acknowledge the unhappiness caused by our impatience and anger in its many manifestations-from mild annoyance to rage. In this revelatory book, Lokos draws on his many years as a Buddhist practitioner and spiritual teacher, as well as interviews with a wide range of individuals who have had their patience tested-often dramatically so-and lays out a compelling path to the heart of patience."

The Community Meditation Center on New York City's Upper West Side is founded by Allan Lokos, who also serves as its guiding teacher. Patience: The Art of Calm Life and Pocket Peace: Practical Techniques for Enlightened Living are two of his books. The New York Times, Tricycle Magazine, The Huffington Post, and www.Beliefnet.com have all published his work.
