Critic reviews

"Smart, deep, and inspiring, this 'survival guide' shines a light on the societal forces that confuse our minds and close our hearts, and offers doable and rewarding ways to clear, heal, and free ourselves. You have in your hands a fun-to-read book that can up-level your game as an awake, honest, kind, generous, happy being." (Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance)

"Modern life is messy, aggravating, even injurious. Despite this truth, the authors show us how to see the goodness. This book is part of that goodness - transforming the ability to survive into the ability to thrive" (Larry Yang, author of Awakening Together)

"For Devon and Craig Hase, a clear mind and wise choices are what enable us to define ourselves in a frenetic world. Writing with a combination of wit, refreshing honesty, and wisdom, they give us a guide to reclaiming our true selves from the definitions of the world, so that we can enjoy the happiness this brings." (Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness)

Amazing

I loved loved loved this. I had heard the authors talking about the upcoming book on a pod cast and was interested to find out more. It was everything I hoped for. Simple ideas backed with research and theology that really made me think. I would recommend to anyone - particularly young people who are in the time of their lives that can be so confusing and disengaging.

Great book on how to incorporate Buddhism and good values in the modern world.

I am really grateful to Devon and Craig for writing this book, and sharing their wisdom, although I have not ever met them face to face. It has really helped with some of the questions I struggle with, on how to incorporate Buddhism into modern life, not just meditation. Thank you.
