According to Zen teacher Cheri Huber, we are conditioned to think that if we were only a little better in some way, we would be happy: “My life isn’t the way it should be and it’s my fault!” 
But the change we are looking for is found in self-acceptance and kindness toward ourselves. By allowing ourselves to be guided by our innate authentic intelligence and generosity, we can be compassionately present to all that’s happening now.
As the book explains, we don’t lack self-discipline, we lack presence. If we learn to pay attention and focus on each moment, our experience can be authentic, awake, honest, and joyful.
This book provides a 30-day program of awareness exercises for practicing compassionate self-discipline, including the powerful technique of Recording and Listening – using audio recordings in our own voice as support for Making a Change for Good.
