About this Item

Neuware -'Clear and concise teachings from Joseph Goldstein transmitted to Gail Stark, his student and friend of twenty-five years, on how to live with more integrity, kindness, and joy. Living without integrity crushes the spirit and tramples the heart. Let Choosing Integrity be your personal trainer for strengthening the integrity muscles! As we unpack the individual components of integrity-generosity, virtue, renunciation, wisdom, courage, patience, truthfulness, resoluteness, loving-kindness, and equanimity-we discover the inherent order to the process: each leads into the next, each supports the one that follows. By focusing deeply on just one component of integrity at a time, in their natural order, the practice becomes easier, less burdened by set-backs. Just as each step on a stairway transports us to a higher elevation, so too will this work steadily transpose you to an empowered place of clarity, strength, commitment, and, consequently, joy. The aim is for you to emerge from this training invigorated and glowing, the better for having pushed yourself to do more than you ever thought you were capable of'.

About this title

Synopsis

Conversations with Joseph Goldstein, one of today’s most renowned meditation teachers who taught ABC news anchor Dan Harris (author of 10% Happier) to meditate, on the topic of integrity.

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
