What's Beyond Mindfulness?: Waking Up to this Precious Life

by Stephen Fulder Narrated by Pete Cross

Overview

This book reveals exactly how radical, exciting, and life-changing the full picture of Buddhist ideas about concepts such as compassion, joy, detachment, and liberation can be. Its key aim, however, is to do this in a way that appeals to everyone, whether they are interested in Buddhism or not. Written in simple, straightforward language, What's Beyond Mindfulness? contains fifty essays covering every aspect of modern life, ranging from the mundane to the spiritual. Topics include how to be fulfilled at work, how to relate to money, what mindfulness really means, how to find the magic of the moment, and much, much more. This book will imbue your life with the sense of magic and mystery that you felt as a child, allowing you to put down the burdens of anxiety, joylessness, restlessness, or a judging mind, and it will do all this by enabling you to shift your experience of the world in a truly profound way.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This book is filled with all the wisdom and compassion Stephen has gleaned from years of teaching, healing and peace work in Israel and Palestine.”

—Jack Kornfield, Spirit Rock Meditation Center

"Stephen Fulder's book marks a milestone, going deeper than the application of mindfulness as a body–mind practice to relieve stress and pain. He points readers toward the exploration of a full range of the human experience, offering fresh perspectives on such themes as ethics, work, money, generosity, the heart, daily wisdom and the significance of waking up. Practical ​and ​down-to-earth, What's Beyond Mindfulness? draws upon the Buddha's teachings, Western insights and Stephen's first-hand experiences. A worthwhile and fascinating read, the book provides explanations and reminders about ways to develop a contented, adventurous, and fulfilled life. A fine book. May it reach hearts of many."
—Christopher Titmuss, Buddhist teacher and author

Pete Cross provides a calm and compelling narration as he gently invites listeners to partake in enlightening lessons intended to inspire mindfulness. Enriching chapters accessibly explore aspects of mindfulness relating to such topics as aging, awakening, authenticity, war, empathy, and emotional domination. Cross’s narration is engaging, at once persuasive and inquisitive but never judgmental as he presents the simple and peaceful perspective of these life-enriching lessons. While they are based in Buddhist teachings, these stand-alone essays are nonreligious in essence, offering practical advice on developing gratitude and awareness of our precious life. A splendid presentation of insightful, much-needed information for our time. M.F. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
