Living in Balance: A Mindful Guide for Thriving in a Complex World

As our world grows increasingly more complex and stressful, developing our capacity for dynamic balance in our lives, work, and relationships becomes vital. Based on the ancient wisdom traditions and the insights of indigenous cultures throughout our world, Living in Balance reveals that in each moment, we have the capacity to be mindful of whether our thoughts and actions are moving toward harmony and balance, or away from it. Through this awareness we can make a conscious choice to continue on the path we are on, or to change our attitude and direction. By encouraging experimentation with the myriad of principles and practices offered, the authors empower the reader to determine which of those are most resonant and meaningful, and can be woven into the fabric of daily life.

Living in Balance is not merely a strongly hyped, motivational book for people seeking to achieve greater success, power, health, or better self­ image in their lives. Instead it offers a rare synthesis of ancient wisdom traditions with cutting ­edge research on peak human performance that points toward mindfulness as being truly the key to living in balance.

Out of print since 2004, this revised and expanded edition features 4 new chapters. Foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
