The Force of Kindness

The CD is a great addition to the book and makes it more user friendly.

how to be happy!

Sharon Salzberg is a master in leading one on the path to deep and true compassion. In her book, "The Force of Kindness" she pragmatically leads one to recognize the only road to find certain happiness for oneself is to develop our hearts and minds through the magic of compassion for all beings.

Great little book and CD

Do yourself a "kindness" and read this book. I really enjoyed the CD which has three or four meditations that you can make a daily practice, without having to depend on the CD every time you want to meditate. I liked this book so much I gave it away! But, that is what you do with kindness, pass it on. If you like Sharon, please read her book, Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness. May you be happy and peaceful.

Loving-kindness

This is a book that will shine a light in the darkness. Salzberg has a wonderous gift in her ability to remind us of our own beauty. I find myself re-reading these pages often when I need to remember my own, and when I need to remember to have compassion for myself and others. Her words easily flow from the pages directly to my heart.

Love & Compassion Book/CD Set

"Before you know what kindness really is you must lose things, feel the future dissolve in a moment like salt in a weakened broth, What you held in your hand, what you counted and carefully saved, all this must go so you know how desolate the landscape can be between the regions of kindness. ~Naomi Shihab Nye Sharon Salzberg presents kindness in a book about life lived with love and a CD to introduce kindness meditations. Through her work, you can learn how to bring more compassion into the world. She presents her ideas in six chapters: Compassion in Action Kindness Toward Ourselves Overcoming Cruelty How We See the World Ethics and Kindness The Intention of Kindness Sharon Salzberg teaches us how to see the good inside us and to reflect on things we have done in the world that are positive and nurturing. She recommends spending 15-20 minutes a day on doing something to be kind to yourself. You can also repeat phrases like "May I live in safety," and "May I have mental happiness." She also shows how a natural sense of morality can be born from a sense of empathy and in understanding that hurting others will cause your own suffering. How can we feel liberating joy? What is an enlightened being? Can you dedicate your life to kindness? How can you become a bodhisattva? While we all seem to move from unhappiness to happiness on a daily basis or a minute-by-minute cycle of life's ever changing circumstances, this book helps to bring us back to a more centered existence. Sharon Salzberg's teachings encourage you to live with an open heart and be a place of calm in the midst of the world's storms. "Kindness is the foundation of unselfconscious generosity, natural inclusivity, and an unfeigned integrity. When we are devoted to the development of kindness, it becomes our ready response..." ~Sharon Salzberg ~The Rebecca Review
