Description:
No one is immune to the different seasons of life. Yet we are often ill-prepared to navigate these natural ups and downs without undue pain and suffering. In her twelfth book, Real Life, New York Times bestselling author Sharon Salzberg contemplates the skills needed to traverse the larger cycles of life, drawing from over 40 years of experience in the Buddhist tradition. Join Sharon and conversation partner, Scott Barry Kaufman, to talk about the themes from the book. Applying contemplative tools, we can learn to live more fearlessly―moving from constriction and isolation to a more spacious place of possibility, creativity, connection, and joy. Embark on the journey to embody a life of curiosity, authenticity, and freedom.
