Stirred Not Shaken: How to be Happy, Healthy, and Whole in Tough Times

We don't survive despite challenge or loss; we flourish because of them. We don't build resilience by focusing merely on "now," but rather by honoring and integrating all experience--past, present, and future--into the fullness of life, and into the fullness of our being. Resilience is something we all fundamentally desire: it speaks directly to our intrinsic longing to live fully, love deeply, and endure...everyday, come what may.

With poignant wisdom and refreshing insight, Michele DeMarco Wilkie tackles a subject that has captivated human hearts and minds throughout time and across culture, and a question that every great wisdom tradition has pondered: how do we find hope and healing in the midst of pain and suffering? How do we keep our spirit strong and flourish when forced to confront the here-and-now, sometimes painful realities of life? In Stirred Not Shaken, today's leading Spirit Wellness teacher provides new inspiration into the nature of adversity, suffering, and loss, and offers a beautiful new landscape for building resilience. Through a breakthrough new framework, powerful exercises and meditations, and personal stories, she explodes traditional myths of resilience. Michele DeMarco Wilkie shows us how to build a sustainable spirit for any and all of life's challenges.
