No Time Like the Present

Meer over het boek

In this landmark work, internationally beloved meditation teacher Jack Kornfield reveals that happiness is attainable in the present moment, offering keys to inner freedom. In his first major book in several years, Kornfield invites readers into a new awareness through his signature warmhearted and often humorous stories, illustrating how we become stuck and how to liberate ourselves regardless of our circumstances. Renowned for his mindfulness practices, he provides tools for immediate shifts in perspective, enabling us to change course, take action, or simply relax and trust when action isn’t needed. Each chapter explores a unique path to freedom—freedom from fear, the ability to start anew, love, authenticity, and happiness—engaging the mind, heart, and spirit to awaken joy repeatedly. Drawing from his experiences as a son, brother, father, and partner, alongside forty years of teaching, Kornfield presents a stirring call to embrace the present moment as we navigate life’s challenges. His insights offer hope, clarity, relief from past disappointments, and the courage to move forward.
