Creating a Life of Integrity | Free Book
Creating a Life of Integrity is our personal trainer for strengthening our integrity muscles.
When we don’t speak or act from our own sense of integrity, we feel lousy. Find out how you can live with more integrity—and subsequently more joy—as you follow these lively conversations between Joseph Goldstein, a founder of the modern mindfulness movement, and Gail Stark, a businesswoman and his student and friend of twenty-five years.
As Joseph and Gail unpack the components of integrity—generosity, virtue, renunciation, wisdom, courage, patience, truthfulness, resoluteness, loving-kindness, and equanimity—we discover each is a step on a path that transports us to an empowered place of clarity, commitment, and, consequently, more joy. As we strengthen and weave these qualities into our daily lives they become our trusted first response in a world that needs our integrity now.
“A lovely, practical, intimate, and wise book. Read and you can enjoy an intimate conversation with a great teacher, and learn how to lovingly refine the study your own mind.”—Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart
In The Press
“This book is unique in both form and substance. It allows us to
listen in to conversations between Dharma teacher Joseph Goldstein and
student Gail Stark as they explore the promise and pitfalls of the
“paramis,” Buddhist trainings of the mind and heart. While many
meditation students become focused almost exclusively on what happens
on the zafu, the conversation between Joseph and Gail takes
mindfulness into the street and into the daily life of a householder.
Using their conversational format, the teachings come alive and all of
us get to feel their power to affect our lives.
“In one of their conversations Joseph and Gail even sing together,
revealing a deep sharing of the freedom and joy that develop on the
path. There is a lot of wisdom in this conversation, and warmth on
every page. As this book says, quoting the Dalai Lama, ‘Our part is to
bring a cheerful mind and heart to a suffering world.’”
