According to Zen teacher Cheri Huber, we are conditioned to think that if we were only a little better in some way, we would be happy: ?Life isn't the way it should be and it's my fault!? But, Huber says, no amount of self-punishment will ever make us happy or bring us control over life?s problems.

The help we are looking for is really found in self-acceptance and kindness toward ourselves. By simply allowing ourselves to be guided by our innate intelligence and generosity, which are our authentic nature, we are able to be compassionately present to what?s happening now. Compassionate self-discipline?the will to take positive steps in life?is found through nothing other than being present. When we are present and aware, we are not engaged in distracting, addictive behaviors. If we simply cultivate our ability to pay attention and focus on what is here in this moment, our experience can be authentic, awake, honest, and joyful.

The book includes a guided thirty-day program of daily meditation, contemplation, and journaling.

A very fine and practical approach for anyone!

I am a personal growth coach with a background in psychology, world religions and biofeedback. I work everyday with people who are trying to change their lives, which as you know is often a tall order. I've always admired Cheri Huber's simple, practical and effective approach and this book is certainly one of her best.

Although this book is based on Buddhist thought, it can be used by anyone of any faith. It approaches change from a perspective of non-judgmental awareness, unconditional self-acceptance and seeing that beating yourself is and always has been futile.

In addition to her fine presentation of content which is gleaned from a variety of areas including cognitive therapy, Buddhist thought and developmental psychology, she provides a structure. Specifically, the book contains a guided 30 day retreat which I think it EXCELLENT in every respect of the word... that's code for it really works!

This is one self-help book that is worthy of the name. I also recommend How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything: A Workbook, Be the Person You Want to Find: Relationship and Self-Discovery, Unconditional Self Acceptance and The Fear Book: Facing Fear Once and for All. In reality, all of Cheri Huber's books and other resources are excellent.

EXCELLENT IF YOU HAVE A HECTIC LIFE!

If your life needs a change, you dont have the budget for psychotherapy, and you don't have time to sit down and read a long complicated book, this may be a big help to you. I was able to pick up some ideas and use them immediately. A shift in my perception became simple, and quick to produce results. Some of our lives are too hectic to become a guru. We just need positive changes that will last. You could do this on your lunch break.

Unexpected Greatness

We're always looking for that external thing to save us and transform us. In Huber's book, we're aided in confronting the external things that have laid eggs in our mind and influence the habitual decisions that we make daily, including addictions, procrastination, and time management.

I've found that Huber's right on track -- it starts with being still.

Modern Buddhism

This book along with Sensei Anthony Stultz (Free Your Mind)and Ezra Bayda (Being Zen)represent the very best of modern buddhist teachering-I highly recommend all three.
