Confidence: Holding Your Seat Through Life's Eight Worldly Winds - Paperback
by Ethan Nichtern (Author)
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.Ethan Nichtern is a renowned contemporary Buddhist teacher and the author of The Dharma of "The Princess Bride" and the widely acclaimed The Road Home. Ethan teaches meditation and Buddhist psychology classes and retreats online via Dharma Moon and around the US. He lives in Brooklyn with his daughter.
