How we go on is the most frequently asked question of our lives. It is also one of the most important. Our willingness and ability to turn life’s “What now?” moments, changes, challenges, crises, losses, as well as opportunities, defines our character and determines the quality of our lives. The key to clearing the path forward to our best possible future is replacing harsh self-criticism, impatience, bitterness, and fear with self-compassion, patience, love, and courage. How to do this is the offering of this book.
