Overview

Tim Desmond--an esteemed Buddhist philosopher who has lectured on psychology at Yale and leads a mental-health project at Google--offers a path to self-growth, connection, and joy like we've never seen before.Despite an absent father, childhood homelessness, and losing a wife to cancer, Desmond has emerged with not only inner strength and joyful resilience but also the deep understanding of human suffering necessary to advocate for those hurting all over the world. Through his work, Desmond realized the truth: we don't need a mindfulness practice for productivity or sleep, and it shouldn't come from religion, philosophy, or hypothetical situations. Instead, mindfulness should be rooted in the pain, sadness, loneliness, and trauma of the here and now--because that is the only true antidote for this sometimes-miserable world we call home.This edition is in Spanish
