With over 50,000 copies sold, Riding the Dragon: 10 Lessons for Inner Strength in Challenging Times has for a decade made itself an indispensable spiritual and psychological guide to readers experiencing seasons of adversity. This anniversary edition includes a new introduction from the author with personal reflections and fresh perspective on today’s challenges.“Don’t try to slay your dragons, learn to ride them!” Drawing on Eastern and Western traditions, psychologist Robert Wicks emboldens readers to face life’s difficulties—the “dragons” that escape from the cave. Readers will find guidance and encouragement to engage problems as a means to growth and transformation, to ride their dragons rather than slay them or drive them back into their cave. Wicks fashions ten simple lessons on identifying and confronting the everyday dragons readers meet: from engaging darkness to finding simplicity to keeping perspective. The lessons here are drawn from the themes presented by such spiritual guides as Henri Nouwen, Thomas Merton, and Abraham Heschel; from the contributions of eastern thinkers such as David Brazier, Jack Kornfield, Pema Chodron and others; and from Buddhist writers such as Sogyal Rinpoche. The long-lasting results will help all of us enjoy our lives more fully. The lessons will also have healing impact upon those with whom we interact -- no small gift in a world presently experiencing such Psychologist And Best-selling Author Robert Wicks Draws Upon Eastern And Western Traditions To Help People Deal With Difficulties--the Dragons That Escaped From The Cave.
