Beskrivning

We live in a time where we seem more afraid than ever. The rise of populism, polarization and aggression in politics, the media and popular culture, and the climate crisis have coincided with the collapse of previously cherished norms and expectations about economic stability, community life, and even the future of the planet. And all this before the pandemic struck. No wonder we are overwhelmed by anxiety. Popular speaker, storyteller and activist Gareth Higgins exposes the root causes of fear and shows how we can break its power through life-giving stories, simple spiritual exercises and practical steps to take as individuals and communities.He contends that it’s time to tell ourselves new stories about the world in which we live, stories that will liberate the greater forces of love, courage and joy. Reflecting on his experience of growing up during the Troubles in Ireland, he shares authentic wisdom that can enable us not only to find calm in the storm, but even to calm the storm itself.

Recensioner i media

'I'm so happy this beautiful book is here - the blessings at the end alone are worth the price of the whole book. I predict with some confidence that by the time you're ten pages in, you'll think, "Wow. I need this." And when you turn the last page, you'll think, "Wow. Life is good." In between those two wow's, a lot will happen in you, because Gareth Higgins has a certain rare magic as a writer and human being. It's so good that if not even one person read it beyond me, the world would be a better place. Then I think of other people reading it... If you value books by Anne Lamont, Glennon Doyle, Brene Brown, or Richard Rohr, or even if you hardly ever read a book, this book will touch you and help you overcome fear, live with courage and creativity, and find meaning on this frightened planet.'
