Summary of Myla Kabat-Zinn & Jon Kabat-Zinn's Everyday Blessings

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Parenting is one of the most difficult and stressful activities on the planet, and yet it is also one of the most important, as it impacts the heart and soul of the next generation and their experience of meaning and connection. #2 As parents, we are tasked with the difficult and challenging job of raising children. We take on this task without a salary, often unexpectedly, at a young and inexperienced age, or under conditions of economic strain and insecurity. #3 If we are constantly pressed for time, we may be out of touch with the richness of the present moment. We may be assuming that what we do is okay as long as we have love for our children and desire for their well-being. #4 The challenges and calling of parenthood can lead to the breaking down of barriers in our own minds and hearts, which can lead to sadness, missed opportunities, hurt, resentment, blame, and ultimately isolation and alienation on all sides.
