    Award-winning author Lama Tsomo provides insights and practices to enrich our relationships, be mindfully and joyfully present in the world, and deepen our understanding of ourselves. 
    The tide of modern life is sweeping us even further into isolation—away from each other, from the world, from ourselves. To turn this tide, Lama Tsomo has created the latest addition to her Ancient Wisdom for Our Times series: Deepening Wisdom, Deepening Connection. Building on the ideas and practices in the first two books—Why Bother: An Introduction and Wisdom Compassion (Starting with Yourself)—this new volume actively engages readers, expanding our understanding and guiding our practice in the several key areas. 
    The Four Boundless Qualities. Loving Kindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, and Equanimity are not lofty, abstract sentiments. They are practical capacities that we can all cultivate for the benefit, as Buddhists say, of ourselves and others. Lama Tsomo teaches us how. 
    Forgiveness. This is essential to our inner well-being—if we want to move on in our lives, and to move closer to others, we must be able to forgive. Resentment is the most destructive form of stress. As someone once said, hanging on to resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Deepening Wisdom, Deepening Connection shows us that we don’t need to forget to forgive. 
    Near Enemies. Lama Tsomo’s explanation of the Buddhist concept of “near enemies” is a true eye-opener: she explains how we can stop fooling ourselves into thinking some of our shortcomings are actually virtues. 
    Sublime Insight. Her patient guidance into the principles and practice of Vipassana (Sublime Insight) offers us ways to experience reality in its complexity and simplicity. (Buddhism was thousands of years ahead of quantum physics on this one.) You’ll never see the world, or yourself, the same way again. 
    Written with the conversational clarity and generous dashes of humor she’s brought to her retreats at the Namchak Retreat Ranch and award-winning titles such as Why Is the Dalai Lama Always Smiling? and The Lotus and the Rose, Lama Tsomo’s latest is the culmination of decades of deep practice and scholarly inquiry. Deepening Wisdom, Deepening Connection is an authentic guide to compassionate awareness and a salve against a growingly disconnected world.

    Are You Currently Facing A Tough Problem In Life or At Work? 
    I have completely no idea who you are and what you do but I am sure of something about you. You have obstacles, challenges and pain in your life. Afterall, we’re all humans aren’t we? If we all experience all these negative emotions and events, what’s the point of life then? What’s the meaning of life? 
    Stoicism is a philosophical school formed in around 300 BC. Today, the lessons are passed on by 3 main principal leaders who are namely, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and Epictetus. Modern day practiced Stoics can vouch for the calmness and joy that a person who practices Stoicism can have. 
    Stoicism is not a cult, it’s not a religion. It’s a way of life and it’s about living a life of ethics and principles. This short book is not your A-Z guide to Stoicism. It’s merely the door that opens your world up to the teachings and lessons of Stoicism. 
    If you ever feel like something small could bother you for a long period of time, maybe Stoicism can help you out. If you ever feel like being in a rut (especially recently) and can’t seem to find a way out of the mess, maybe Stoicism can help you out. 
    This short book is a practical guide. You’ll find 11 practical wisdom that is not only easy to implement but infinitely powerful if you apply them in your daily life. Each practical wisdom is accompanied by an action step for you to have no excuses but to embrace Stoicism into your life.
