Beloved teacher Jack Kornfield shares stories and teachings about navigating our shared human experience with wisdom and care— for ourselves and our world. A soothing balm in our divided and distracted world.

At a time ridden with injustice, fragmentation, loneliness, and conflict, this book asks: How can we
listen to the pulse of one another? How do we listen to the pulse of the world? Beloved meditation teacher Jack Kornfield reminds us that we are all born with a basic goodness and a heart of compassion encourages us to remember our innate humanness, to free ourselves and others from hatred and fear, and chart a path where we all belong. Through stories, poems, fables, and legends, Kornfield shows us that the way to build a wise society within ourselves and for our world is through remembering our interconnectedness.
Accessible, timely, heartfelt, entertaining, and gentle, the book offers a variety of perspectives, from Kornfield’s personal stories and the teachings of the Buddha to poetry from Mary Oliver and timeless legends. Throughout, Kornfield reminds us that we’re all in this together—that the inescapable pain and beauty of our human experience is what can ultimately connect us.
