Summary:
A longtime stress worker, Laura van Dernoot Lipsky offers a deep and empathetic survey of the often-unrecognized toll taken on those attempting to make the world a better place. We may feel tired, cynical, or numb or like we can never do enough. These, and various other symptoms, impact us separately and collectively, sapping the power and effectiveness we so frantically want if we are to benefit humankind, other living factors, and the planet itself. In Stress Stewardship, we are called to meet up these challenges in an intentional method—to keep from becoming overwhelmed by developing a quality of mindful existence. Joining the knowledge of ancient cultural traditions with contemporary psychological study, Lipsky offers a number of simple and profound procedures that will allow us to remake ourselves—and ultimately the world.
