How to Wake Up by Toni Bernhard
Intimately and without jargon, How to Wake Up: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide to Navigating Joy and Sorrow describes the path to peace amid all of life's ups and downs. Using step by step instructions, the author illustrates how to be fully present in the moment without clinging to joy or resisting sorrow. This opens the door to a kind of wellness that goes beyond circumstances. Actively engaging life as it is in this fashion holds the potential for awakening to a peace and well-being that are not dependent on whether a particular experience is joyful or sorrowful. This is a practical book, containing dozens of exercises and practices, all of which are illustrated with easy-to-relate to personal stories from the author's experience.Toni Bernhard is the author of How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Handbook for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers and How to Wake Up: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide to Navigating Joy and Sadness, both of which have received awards. Toni was a law professor at the University of California-Davis until she was forced to retire due to illness. She also served as the dean of students for six years. She has been a Buddhist for more than 20 years. Turning Straw Into Gold is her blog, which is hosted on Psychology Today's website. Toni Bernhard's website is www.tonibernhard.com.
