Praise for When the Whole World Tips:

“I wish I’d had this wise, welcoming book when I was raising my child! It is a mindfulness teacher’s practical instructions on how to stay centered when our children are suffering. Hard-fought and friendly, it is a sweet, useful introduction to Buddhism.”
—Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird

“In a society that stigmatizes sustained mental health challenges, Celia Landman bravely and beautifully shares the meaningful lessons she has learned as a parent, clinician and practitioner with grace and clarity. This book is an extremely useful practice guide for family members, caregivers and sangha friends who love someone struggling with mental health challenges. This is a valuable contribution to the very important conversation about mental health in our community and in the world. It is a true gem!”
—Karen Hilsberg, PhD, clinical psychologist

“This book is a lovely, life-saving resource for parents (or anyone in crisis) looking to find their own unique and authentic way through difficult life circumstances.”
—Sarah Peyton, certified NVC trainer and author of Your Resonant Self

“In her wise and tender book, Celia Landman offers us a guide to riding the waves of suffering with mindfulness. For those who are suffering or caring for a suffering loved one, please know that this is not a feel-good book to read and pass on to a friend. It’s a book to practice with, to come back to again and again and, with deeper awareness, peel away the next layer of denial, fear, or helplessness to open your heart that much wider.”
—Richard Brady, mindfulness teacher and author of the forthcoming Short Journey Home

“In this generous book, Celia Landman reveals how the timeless wisdom of the Buddha helped her navigate seemingly impossible parenting situations. Above all, she learned that caring for herself was the best thing she could do for others. The author offers simple, on-the-spot practices for readers to do the same in their own lives. If caregiving ever leaves you feeling overwhelmed, please give yourself this book right away!”
—Christopher Germer, PhD, lecturer at Harvard Medical School and coauthor of The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook

“Discover how to navigate the challenges of parenting in times of crisis with mindfulness and an open heart.

One take away from the book: with gratitude all things become more possible!”
—Jim Manske, certified nonviolent communication trainer and author of Pathways to Nonviolent Communication
