"Though we are seemingly more connected to our world than ever before, many of us cannot ignore a nagging sense of loneliness and isolation. To keep this anxiety and discontentment at bay, we can search for connection through unhealthy distrations, believing these will bring us true nourishment. And yet, loneliness is on the rise, exacting detrimental effects on or mental, emotional, physical and spirtitual well-being. Even those of us who have succeeded in the ways that society applauds often feel unanchored, disengaged, and purposeless. If true pleasure is what we desire, how do we look past the surface to discover a life filled with meaningful connection and genuine relationships? 'Untangled' is a welcoming guidebook to finding expansive ease and true joy through what is traditionally called the eightfold path, one of Buddhism’s foundational teachings. Psychotherapist and Zen teacher Koshin Paley Ellison compassionately walks readers down these 8 roads, leading them on a path of transformation and to experience true joy. Combining teachings from both Eastern and Western wisdom traditions, Paley Ellison equips readers with the tools needed to untangle our tangles and make profound change, inside and out. Infused with Paley Ellison's own anecdotes of his life as a young gay kid facing abuse and discrimination, this approachable guide offers a path for social healing that will help you to transform your every-day interactions, as well as your most intimate relationships. It is an ancient cure that's up to the challenge of healing the modern dysfunction of our times." --Jacket.
