“We all want a good story. Especially in trying times, our cultures need stories to inspire us, educate us, touch us, and bring us together. Shared stories make us larger than ourselves.” – Jack Kornfield
It’s a joy to bring to you my new book, All in This Together: Stories and Teachings for Loving Each Other and Our World. These are stories that will touch you heart and make you laugh, and cry, and smile. At this time of so much collective anxiety, injustice, and suffering, this book can help us all listen with compassion to the pulse of the world and to one another.
These teachings and stories are perfect for this present moment to help us remember our basic goodness, free ourselves from fear, and pave a path to a world where we all belong.
These marvelous tales and teachings range from my training in the monasteries of Burma, to the life of the Buddha, to Arthurian legend. Some are ancient, some are new. Many are from revered voices, including Ram Dass and Mary Oliver. Together, these stories offer inspiration on:
• Trusting the gifts of interconnectedness
• Envisioning generosity to change the world
• Being of service as an endless source of happiness
• The healing power of love… always
All In This Together reminds us that the universal pain and beauty of our human experience is what can ultimately connect us.
“Our shared stories make us larger than ourselves. Let them move you and wake you up and remind you: We are all in this together.”
Please enjoy this wonderful new offering for a world so desperately in need of a good story.
With metta,
Jack
