false 3016076 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg Part of what makes this book so accessible is Kornfield's use of everyday metaphors to describe the elusive lessons of spiritual transformation. For example, he opens with "the one seat" lesson taught to him by his esteemed teacher. Literally it means sitting in the center of a room and not being swayed or moved by all the people and dramas happening around you. On a spiritual level it means sticking "with one practice and teacher among all of the possibilities," writes Kornfield; "inwardly it means having the determination to stick with that practice through whatever difficulties and doubts arise until you have come to true clarity and understanding." The same could be said for this "one book." Among all the spiritual self-help books, this is a classic worth sticking with and returning to--a highly approachable teacher that can only lead to greater clarity and understanding. --Gail Hudson

Kornfield summons his experience as a monk, psychotherapist, and meditation teacher to craft an elegant approach for integrating modern life into a full spiritual practice. In the clear and friendly voice that has made him one of America's leading meditation teachers, Kornfield addresses central issues - including our bodies, emotions, relationships, spiritual teachers, and more - offering a complete vision for cultivating the skills we need now to see the preciousness in all life. Complete with many special meditations and other practices, A Path with Heart points to the healing, compassion, and freedom that arise only when we open deeply to the world around us.
