“I’ve been a fan of Lodro’s books and in-person meditations for many years. With warmth and humor, he has a practical and encouraging way of reminding us that we are good enough and that the consistent practice of being present can have a profound impact on our lives. Lodro’s writing makes these big ideas feel accessible, totally doable, and fun! This book feels like a big exhale and a reminder we all need.”
—Krysten Ritter, actress and national best-selling author of Retreat and Bonfire
“Lodro Rinzler guides readers through the tender work of observing patterns of self-doubt, not to try and find a quick-fix, but to reveal what was never broken.”
—Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Life
“Lodro Rinzler invites us to rediscover ‘basic goodness’ as the ground of our lives, relationships, and society, moving from self-acceptance to compassion for others, and finally to transforming how we see the world. This book beautifully blends Buddhist wisdom with down-to-earth guidance. With practical reflections and everyday practices, it shows how to work with doubt, shame, and conflict, and how to recognize the innate goodness in yourself, your loved ones, strangers, and even the world at large. Timely, relevant, and useful for this modern world, it is a guide to living with clarity, confidence, and kindness—just right here, right now.”
—Dza Kilung Rinpoche, author of The Free Mind
“This book is a breakthrough. Simple, powerful, and ready to help anyone who’s ready. Profound wisdom, generously offered.”
—Seth Godin, author of The Song of Significance
