"In today's fractured world, constantly flooded with breaking news that causes anger, grief, and pain. People are feeling more stressed-out than ever, and in the face of this fear and anxiety, they can feel so burnt out and overwhelmed that they end up frozen in their tracks and can't do anything. In Real Change, Sharon Salzberg, a leading expert in Lovingkindness meditation, shares sage advice and indispensable techniques to help free themselves from these negative feelings and actions. She teaches that meditation is not a replacement for action, but rather a way to practice generosity with themselves and summon the courage to break through boundaries, reconnect to a movement that's bigger than people, and have the energy to stay active. Consulting with veteran activists and social-change agents in a variety of fields, Salzberg collects and shares their wisdom and offers the best practical advice to foster transformation in both ourselves and in society. To help tame our inner landscape or chaos, Salzberg offers mindfulness practices that will help readers cultivate a sense of agency and stay engaged in the long-term struggle for social change. Whether you’re resolving conflicts with a crotchety neighbor or combating global warming, Real Change will provide the fundamental principles and mindfulness practices to help guide you to the clarity and confidence to lift a foot and take the next step into a better world."--container.
