Media reviews

“Powerful dharma encouragement to awaken our own fearless and wise heart—from one of the most remarkable and brilliant teachers of modern times.”—Jack Kornfield

“The teachings presented in this book are transformational—and especially relevant today, when so many of us are facing uncertainty and anxiety. Chögyam Trungpa shows us how to uncover our innate strength, confidence, and joy under any circumstances. I strongly recommend this book to all those seeking awakening and freedom.”—Pema Chödrön

“There is no one better than Chögyam Trungpa to show us how to be fearless. He overcame great difficulties while remaining true to his principles—bravery, compassion, and gentleness. These are the qualities of a Shambhala warrior, which shine through brilliantly in this book.”—Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche

“Throughout [this publication] it is stated many times that the road to compassionate enlightenment and change is sitting meditation.  These gentle reminders are always welcome because it is so easy to go to sleep and forget what is useful.”—The Bloomsbury Review 

“Particularly relevant, as modern day life presents the aspirant with many challenges that provoke anxiety and worry.  His suggestions are practical, accessible, and simple.”—The Beacon

“An excellent place to start for anyone interested in exploring Trungpa Rinpoche's remarkable Shambhala teachings."—The Middle Way
