Synopsis

This is a book for everyone - clear, practical and with the power to imbue your life once more with the sense of magic and mystery you felt as a child. It will allow you to put down the burdens of anxiety, joylessness, stress or a judging mind, and shift your experience of the world in a truly profound way.

Mindfulness - or the practice of awareness - is increasingly popular but represents just one strand of the incredibly rich and fulfilling Buddhist approach to life. Exploring how to be fulfilled at work, how to age wisely, how to dissolve difficult emotions, how to be truly authentic and much, much more, this book reveals how to live a liberated life and shows exactly how Buddhist concepts and practice such as compassion, joy, ease, mindfulness and awakening can bring radical change to your life.

About this title

Review

Stephen Fulder's book marks a milestone, going deeper than the application of mindfulness as a body-mind practice to relieve stress and pain. He points readers toward the exploration of a full range of the human experience, offering fresh perspectives on such themes as ethics, work, money, generosity, the heart, daily wisdom and the significance of waking up. Practical and down-to-earth, What's Beyond Mindfulness? draws upon the Buddha's teachings, Western insights and Stephen's first-hand experiences. A worthwhile and fascinating read, the book provides explanations and reminders about ways to develop a contented, adventurous, and fulfilled life. A fine book. May it reach hearts of many.

--Christopher Titmuss, Buddhist teacher and author

This book is filled with all the wisdom and compassion Stephen has gleaned from years of teaching, healing and peace work in Israel and Palestine. --Jack Kornfield, Spirit Rock Meditation Center

The way I use the word ''mindfulness,'' there is nothing beyond it, because it is shorthand for deeply embodied wisdom and its myriad expressions in life. But in this deeply nurturing and illuminating book, Stephen Fulder unfurls the universe that gave birth to the most refined articulation of mindfulness on the planet, and how it can be understood and nurtured both from the more traditional Buddhist perspective, and from a more universal and inclusionary perspective, for the benefit of all. Stephen's life trajectory and choices are an embodiment of his fierce love of what is most sacred, and most easily missed. --Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Full Catastrophe Living and Falling Awake
