This book is for all who seek freedom from suffering and wish to discover anew joy, happiness, and who they are meant to be. --Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Change You would be hard pressed to find a more inspiring and accessible resource for seeing the potential present in every moment to befriend and liberate your own mind. That it comes spontaneously out of a conversation among three friends with deep karmic connections, yet different lives and backgrounds, leaves a lot of room for you to find your own ways to realize and embody the freedom that they are pointing to. --Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, founder of MBSR (mindfulness-based stress reduction) and author of Full Catastrophe Living and Mindfulness for All It's rare to find a gathering of such wisdom in a single volume. And it is a delight to be in the company of these three teachers, as if you were sitting with them and listening in. Far reaching, penetrating, and profound, this is a gem of a book. --Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Neurodharma
