NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER € This inspiring guide to healing and growth illuminates the richness and potential of every life, even in the face of loss and adversity.

In the more than twenty-five years since she co-founded Omega Institute€"now the world€s largest center for spiritual retreat and personal growth€"Elizabeth Lesser has been an intimate witness to the ways in which people weather change and transition. In a beautifully crafted blend of moving stories, humorous insights, practical guidance, and personal memoir, she offers tools to help us make the choice we all face in times of challenge: Will we be broken down and defeated, or broken open and transformed? Lesser shares tales of ordinary people who have risen from the ashes of illness, divorce, loss of a job or a loved one€"stronger, wiser, and more in touch with their purpose and passion. And she draws on the world€s great spiritual and psychological traditions to support us as we too learn to break open and blossom into who we were meant to be.
