The Subtle Art of Caring Reviews

This book is a tonic for our times. Read and respair (rebuild hope and recover from despair)! I was invited into a different way of being as I imbibed this beautiful collage of reflections, conversations, and creative explorations. A way of being that honours the continuity between my own wellbeing and the wellbeing of all living things. - Prof Rebecca Crane, PhD, Director, Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice, Bangor University, UK; In 'The Subtle Art of Caring', River, a passionate contemplative artist and activist, shares with us what she has learned in her journey of creativity, social engagement, and meditation. Using as a template the four qualities of pausing, befriending, enjoying, and caring, she shows the way to a profoundly beneficial life for ourselves and others. - Martine Batchelor, meditation teacher and author of 'Meditation for Life' and 'Let Go: a Buddhist Guide to Breaking Free of Habits'
