Despite our good intentions to help others, we often hold back because we don't know what to do or are afraid to intrude. Even when we overcome our hesitations, we sometimes find that we have made things worse with our attempts to help. Karen Kissel Wegela combines the insights of traditional meditative practices and modern psychology to address these problems, concluding that the most important thing we can offer to anyone in distress is our mindful presence, without agendas or expectations. When we learn to cultivate this ability to be open-heartedly, compassionately present, we find that we can intelligently apply a variety of skills and techniques, including listening, being mindful companions, and forming supportive teams for individuals and families. We may find that our actions benefit us as much as they do the people we seek to help. This books provides concrete practical advice, with techniques and exercises for developing the capacity to serve, support, and encourage those in need-for people in the helping professions as well as for everybody else who wants to provide genuine help to others.… (altro)

Wegela, director of contemplative psychology at the Naropa Institute, gives step-by-step instructions in a variety of techniques to help us become more present in our daily lives so that we can actually be more helpful to others. Wegela combines the insights of traditional meditative practices and modern psychology to address these problems, concluding that the most important thing we can offer to anyone in distress is our mindful presence, without agenda or expectations. Based in meditation and Buddhist principles, this book actually transcends any one philosophy and may be applied by anyone in any situation. Basic principles of mindfulness and compassion work for any organization.

From a leadership standpoint, this book is an incredible handbook for creating meaningful communication and promoting teamwork. Part Four: 'Expressing Genuine Relationship', includes 'how to be a good listener' and 'giving and receiving feedback,' which alone would go a long way to creating a true leader. Since communication is one of the keys to strong leadership, this book on how to get out of the way and genuinely work with others is a gem. ( )
