Making a Change for Good: A Guide to Compassionate Self-Discipline
Making a Change for Good A Guide to Compassionate SelfDiscipline Author:Cheri Huber A Zen teacher for more than thirty years, Cheri Huber is a one-of-a-kind spiritual teacher, known for her warmth, playfulness, and simplicity. She has a knack for bringing heady Zen philosophy down-to-earth and making it relevant and useful in our everyday struggles. In her new book, she takes on the topic of changing ourselves: how do we break ... more »“bad habits” and start good ones, whether it’s in the realm of exercise, eating, shopping, or committing ourselves to a spiritual practice such as meditation? Huber points out that we’ve all been led to believe that if we were only a little better in some way, we’d find happiness. We’re always thinking, “Life isn’t the way it should be—and it’s my fault!” But, Huber explains, no amount of self-punishment will ever make us happy or bring us control over life’s problems. The happiness and peace we are looking for is ultimately found only in self-acceptance and kindness. Making a Change for Good encourages us to focus on what is true for us in this moment so that our experience can be authentic, awake, honest, and joyful, with no need to hide out in addictive behaviors or run away from reality by using substances or other habitual escapes. This book includes a guided thirty-day program of daily meditation, contemplation, and journaling.« less
