FEAR - Essential Wisdom for Getting Through the Storm Thich Nhat Hanh
A New Earth Eckhart Tolle Awaken your life's purpose, discover your potential, and change your life. Are you ready to put aside ego and be awakened? Right now, the world is filled with angry, raging egos. But there is a better way and in A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle provides the spiritual framework for all of us to move beyond ourselves in order to make this world a better, more evolved place to live. Shattering modern ideas of ego and entitlement, self and society, Tolle lifts the veil of fear that has hung over us during this new millennium and reveals a path to happiness and health that every reader can follow.
Renowned Zen master and Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, explores the origins of fear and offers detailed practises on how to deal with it. Most of us live in a constant state of fear - of past, illness, ageing, death and losing things we treasure. Rooted in the moment, we have the capacity to restore balance and happiness and be present with what is beautiful and affirming inside us and around us, every day. By practicing mindfulness can we identify the source of pain that is responsible for our fear and anxiety and cut it off from its roots so the pain can subside.
