Drawing on his 30 years of teaching and service, \u003cb\u003eBo Lozoff\u003c\/b\u003e shows why compassion--not success, self-improvement, or self-esteem--is at the root of happiness. In 26 intimate, inspiring chapters--each accompanied by a specific practice--Lozoff covers themes such as developing honesty, learning humility, dealing with anger, and honoring relationships. He shows how practices such as a daily vow of kindness or a simple commitment of time with others can have a profound effect on ourselves and our world. Lozoff's stories and lessons can awaken everyone to a happier and more fulfilled life.It's a Meaningful LifeForeword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Let's Not Miss the Meaning of Life\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: The Inner Journey of Communion: Creating a Personal Spiritual Practice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWaking Up from the American Dream\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Clarifying Your Motivation\u003cbr\u003eSpirituality Is Not Optional\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Classic Breath-Centered Meditation\u003cbr\u003eYou Can Do Hard\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Vow Practice\u003cbr\u003eIt's Not the Top, It's the Climb\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Facing Fears\u003cbr\u003eThe Coal Miner's Faith\u003cbr\u003ePractice: \"Anything That Can Happen\" Mantra\u003cbr\u003eLucky Breaks and Fractures\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Mantras for Everyday Life\u003cbr\u003eOur Cosmic Safety Net\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Prayer\u003cbr\u003eTake Off the Bumper Stickers\u003cbr\u003ePractice: A Prayer of Humility\u003cbr\u003eBut Enough About Me\u003cbr\u003ePractice: An Exercise in Seeing\u003cbr\u003eIt Always Gets Back to Kindness\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Setting the Stage for a Life of Lovingkindness\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two: The Outer Path Toward Community: Practicing Service\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecoming Civilized\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Civiling Your World\u003cbr\u003eChicken Little Was Right\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Values Exercise\u003cbr\u003eThe Big Activism\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Living Simply\u003cbr\u003eA House Too Small May Be a Blessing\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Sacred Reading\u003cbr\u003eWhat Are We Thinking?\u003cbr\u003ePractice: A Television Vow\u003cbr\u003eThe Gospel of Following Bliss\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Stopping\u003cbr\u003eMistaken Identity\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Work\/Life Vision Quest\u003cbr\u003eOne for All, All for One\u003cbr\u003ePractice: The Breath of Life\u003cbr\u003e...The Other Tastes Salt\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Daily Marriage Vows\u003cbr\u003eThe Fortress of Anger\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Working with Anger\u003cbr\u003eA Mensch Is a Mensch, Big or Small\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Taking Inventory\u003cbr\u003eFix Your La-Z-Boy\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Working with Your Hands\u003cbr\u003eSuccess by Failure\u003cbr\u003ePractice: A Day of Silence\u003cbr\u003eHonest Truth and Honest Fiction\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Talking Circle - Opening Honesty to Truth\u003cbr\u003eA Time to Speak\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Talking Circle - Discerning versus Judging\u003cbr\u003eEvery Mother's Child\u003cbr\u003ePractice: Radical Goodwill\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfterword: Keeping It Simple\u003cbr\u003eSaints, Sages, and Sacred Texts\u003cbr\u003eRecommended Resources\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBo Lozoff\u003c\/b\u003e is a spiritual activist and co-founder of the Human Kindness Foundation, which sponsors the Prison-Ashram Project (founded twenty-five years ago with \u003cb\u003eRam Dass\u003c\/b\u003e), a quarterly newsletter, and Kindness House (a spiritual community that is open to visitors).
