Zen Ways to Navigate Life's Flaws and Find Balance

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A simple yet profound Zen approach to overcoming the deep-seated anxieties around imperfection and inadequacy that obscure our essential belonging. A new book in the Zen Ways series from the hosts of the popular The Way Out Is In podcast. Being human inevitably means falling short of expectations-our own and those of the world around us. But what if, instead of resisting our imperfections, we learned to embrace them? What if we embodied the knowledge that there's nothing wrong with not being perfect? This transformative guide invites readers to shift their perspective, using mindfulness and compassion to live a happier, more authentic life. Drawing on Zen teachings and real-life stories, Zen teacher Brother Phap Huu and sustainability expert Jo Confino offer practical tools for:

• Finding balance, self-acceptance, and inner peace
• Cultivating an inherent sense of belonging
• Tending to old wounds that hold us back today
• Working with habits of perfectionism and intense self-criticism

Grounded in wisdom yet deeply relatable, this book is not just a guide-it's an invitation to step fully into your own humanity. If you're ready to break free from self-judgment and live with greater ease, this is your roadmap.

Autorenporträt

Brother Pháp Hũu (Dharma Friend) first encountered Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village community as a nine-year-old child when his father, a former refugee from the war in Vietnam, took his family from Canada to visit Plum Village France in 1996. From the age of twelve, Brother Phap Huu knew that he wished to become a monk. After much persistence on his part, his family allowed him to realize this wish when he turned thirteen. Brother Pháp Hữu was ordained as a novice monk in 2002 and received full ordination on December 18, 2006 and the Lamp Transmission as a Dharma Teacher in 2009. He has been the abbot of Plum Village Upper Hamlet since January 2011. Executive coach, facilitator, journalist, and sustainability expert Jo Confino has partnered with the UN Development Program on a consciousness and systems change initiative, and sits on the boards of various climate organizations. Jo held senior editorial positions at the HuffPost in New York and The Guardian in London, where he oversaw its sustainable business website. A mindfulness advocate, Jo has worked closely with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and his monastic community in France since 2009. Jo gained his MSc in Responsibility and Business Practice at the University of Bath.
