In this landmark work, internationally beloved teacher of meditation and âone of the great spiritual teachers of our timeâ (Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple) Jack Kornfield reveals that you can be instantly happy with the keys to inner freedom. Through his signature warmhearted, poignant, often funny stories, with their a-ha moments and O. Henry-like outcomes, Jack Kornfield shows how we can free ourselves, wherever we are and whatever our circumstances. Renowned for his mindfulness practices and meditations, Jack provides keys for opening gateways to immediate shifts in perspective and clarity of vision, allowing us to âgrapple with difficult emotionsâ (Publishers Weekly, starred review) and know how to change course, take action, orâwhen we shouldnât actâjust relax and trust. Each chapter presents a path to a different kind of freedomâfreedom from fear, freedom to start over, to love, to be yourself, and to be happyâand guides you into an active process that engages your mind and heart, awakens your spirit, and brings real joy, over and over again. Drawing from his own life as a son, brother, father, and partner, and on his forty years of face-to-face teaching of thousands of people across the country, Jack presents âa consommé of goodness, heart, laughter, tears, and breath, nourishing and deliciousâ (Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird). His keys to life will help us find hope, clarity, relief from past disappointments and guilt, and the courage to go forward.
