•The long-awaited new book by the best-selling author and well-known meditation teacher

•Buddhist art of living for every day - honest, authentic and with a refreshing pinch of self-irony

•Total sales in the German speaking region: 350,000 copies

How can we live with ourselves and with others in a better way? What significance does patience, generosity, wisdom and calm have in our lives? The best-selling author describes how she personally deals with everyday life using the ten Buddhist Perfections, which come from an intense practice of mindfulness. That also includes failure, not achieving the ideal state and above all humour and loving self-acceptance. For clear understanding, she tells many case stories of her pupils and always offers an opportunity for self-reflection.
