Go beyond mere mindfulnessGÇöand deepen your connection to your self, the people in your life, and the world around you.

Mindfulness is an ancient and powerful practice of awareness and nonjudgmental discernment that can help us ground ourselves in the present moment, with the world and our lives just as they are. But thereGÇÖs a risk: by focusing our attention on something (or someone), we might always see it as something other, as separate from ourselves. To close this distance, mindfulness has traditionally been paired with a focus on intimacy, community, and interdependence. In this book, Ben Connelly shows us how to bring these two practices togetherGÇöbringing warm hearts to our clear seeing.

Helpful meditations and exercises show how mindfulness and intimacy can together enrich our empathetic engagement with ourselves and the world around usGÇöwith our values, with the environment, and with the people in our lives, in all their distinct manifestations of race and religion, sexuality and gender, culture and classGÇöand lead to a truly engaged, compassionate, and joy-filled life
