This book is about saying yes to life, about making friends with ourselves and our world, about accepting the delightful and painful situation of "no exit." It exhorts us to wake up wholeheartedly to everything and to use the abundant, richly textured fabric of everyday life as our primary spiritual teacher and guide.
