Description
The best-selling author
of The Great
Work of Your Life shows us
the way through our darkest times to our truest
calling.
How do we make sense of our lives when our world seems to be
falling apart?
In this beautifully written guide, scholar and teacher Stephen Cope
shows that crises don’t have to derail us from our purpose—they can
actually help us to find our purpose and step forward as our best
selves.
The Dharma in Difficult
Times extends the message of Cope’s best-loved
book, The Great Work of Your
Life, which gave readers a roadmap for the journey to their
true calling. As in Great
Work, Cope here takes the ancient yogic text
the Bhagavad Gita—the epic
narrative of the warrior Arjuna’s odyssey of self-discovery—as a
model for the reader’s journey. Then he builds on that foundation
using the stories and teachings of famous figures, as well as
stories of ordinary people and his own rich personal experience.
Along the way, we find striking examples for finding meaning and
purpose in our lives:
• Gandhi
shows how to tap our spiritual resources and listen for our inner
voice
• Sojourner
Truth and Henry David Thoreau inspire us to seek out the
unmistakable signs of dharma in the midst of chaos
• Marian
Anderson and Ruby Sales shed light on dharma’s mystic power and how
we learn to trust in it
• And
more
In the spirit of Pema Chödrön’s When Things Fall Apart, this book is
required reading when you find yourself forging a path through
crisis—or seeking a way through your darkest times to your truest
self.
