      How do we stand firm amid the ups and downs of existence? In today’s culture of polarization and constant change, how do we find the confidence to navigate challenges? Is now really the time for meditation, for looking inward? What do we do with mindfulness? Meditation teacher Ethan Nichtern tackles these questions, taking contemporary considerations of power, identity, ethics, and confidence to new heights in this essential guide to self-discovery. Ethan examines the Buddhist concept of the Eight Worldly Winds, the four paired opposites of praise and blame, pleasure and pain, fame and insignificance, and success and failure. Delving into these dichotomies reveals invaluable insights into our relationships with others (including teachers, friends, leaders, the disgraced, and the adored) and ourselves. With transformative meditation exercises, Confidence empowers us to cultivate and access our innate wisdom.

      Voel je je thuis? Ben je comfortabel in je eigen huid? Heb je een gevoel van erbij horen? In dit boek behandelt de senior boeddhistische leraar Ethan Nichtern deze vragen en begeleidt hij ons op de weg die we allemaal bewandelen om te ontdekken wie we werkelijk zijn en waar we echt thuishoren. Echt thuis voelen komt volgens hem niet voort uit onze fysieke locatie, maar uit het vermogen om in het huidige moment te behoren, zonder ons zorgen te maken over de spijt van gisteren of de to-do lijst van morgen. Nichtern biedt de benodigde tools om deze ontwaking te bereiken. Wanneer we ons ontspannen en comfortabel voelen in onze eigen huid, verbetert ons leven. We worden minder angstig, onzeker en gestrest over de toekomst; we worden meer in staat om te luisteren, om mededogend te zijn en deel te nemen aan betekenisvolle relaties en activiteiten. We kunnen dit allemaal bereiken, als we ons maar thuis kunnen voelen bij onszelf en anderen. Dit boek gaat niet over zelfzucht of escapisme, maar is eerder een kaart die we in het dagelijks leven kunnen gebruiken - een kaart die je uiteindelijk naar huis leidt.

    • 'An invitation to a sane life' Jack Kornfield Do you feel at home? Are you comfortable in your own skin? Do you have a sense of belonging? In this book, senior Buddhist teacher Ethan Nichtern addresses these questions and guides us on the path we all take to find out who we really are and where we really belong. Feeling truly at home, he believes, comes not from our physical location but the ability to belong in the present moment, without worrying about yesterday's regrets or tomorrow's to-do list. Nichtern provides the tools needed to reach this awakening. Once we feel relaxed and comfortable in our own skin, our lives improve. We become less anxious, uncertain and stressed about the future; we become more able to listen, to be compassionate and engage in meaningful relationships and activities. We can all achieve this, if only we can feel at home with ourselves and others. This book is not about navel-gazing or escapism, instead it is a map to use in everyday life - one that ultimately leads you home.
