Description: In the delightful tradition of Jack Kornfield, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Joko Beck comes the fresh voice of beloved teacher Sylvia Boorstein. Known to her thousands of students and colleagues as their "Jewish grandmother bodhisattva," Boorstein combines refreshing honesty with an astonishing ability to reach beyond the insider language of traditional Buddhist teaching, making its universal wisdom easily available to all. Using powerful stories from everyday experience, Sylvia demystifies spirituality, charts the path to happiness through the Buddha's basic teachings, eliminates hindrances to clear seeing, and finally develops a realistic course toward wisdom and compassion. It's Easier Than You Think is a wonderfully engaging guide, full of humor, memorable insight, and love. -- from the jacket
