From beloved meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg, this workbook brings lovingkindness to life as the salve for fear, loneliness, anger, and alienation.

This dynamic workbook shares lovingkindness as the antidote we need today—a powerful practice that can help us loosen the fear and anger we feel towards ourselves and others, and instead meet reality with kindness and compassion.

Moving from intention to action, renowned meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg guides us in opening to our heart’s true potential, showing us how to move from constriction and alienation to openness and interconnection. As Sharon writes, “When we practice lovingkindness, we acknowledge that every one of us shares a wish to be happy and a vulnerability to change and suffering. It doesn’t mean that you agree with someone, or want to spend any time with them. Rather, it is a deep understanding that all of life is intertwined.” The workbook includes more than 50 practices, including quizzes, reflection questions, short “stealth meditations” that can be practiced any time, and longer guided audio meditations available to download or stream.

Whether you’re new to Sharon’s work or have practiced with her for years, this workbook invites you to experiment with lovingkindness in new ways. As Sharon writes, “Our genuine, personal transformation isn’t a question of abstract appreciation for these ideas, but one of step-by-step bringing them to life.”
