Publisher's summary

In her more than four decades of Buddhist practice and teaching, Boorstein has discovered that the secret to happiness lies not in monastic solitude but in cultivating our connections with the world. She reminds us that our hearts want to appreciate, encourage, and love, and that these qualities lead to a grounded sense of happiness.

Even better than expected

Sylvia is full of wisdom and good advice for your meditation practice. A great listen. And the narration is one of the best I've listened to.

Elitist storytelling

Half this story is about her privileged life living between SF and Paris. It didn’t sit right
