STANDING AT THE EDGE Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet

To help listeners cope with today's fast-paced, noisy world, narrator Joan Halifax's meditative voice takes us by the ear and reorients us toward serenity. In doing so, she references years of interviews with a wide range of people, including medical professionals and parents, among many others. To prove the value of slowing down, she outlines five "edge states" that contribute to our increased happiness and willingness to help those around us. These are supported by complex anthropological concepts, which she explains in a measured and straightforward manner. Her slow and steady pace allows listeners to keep up with the considerable wisdom she is passing along. This title will likely leave listeners feeling serene.
