Responding to distressing, uncontrollable events without blaming ourselves or others can be difficult, yet it is necessary if we are to find interpersonal harmony and, ultimately, global peace. To master this challenge, we must cope with adversity by understanding the psychological and social reasons why we blame, practicing forgiveness, responding stoically, nurturing a gentle spirituality, and perceiving ourselves and others with empathy. That's easier said than done! Learn how to do so in this thought-provoking yet practical book. Engaging vignettes from the author's experience bring the ideas to life, and specific, reflective questions allow the reader to apply them to their own.
