Description

A punk rockers guide to grow, learn, and appreciate the present momentin short, to live a life that doesnt totally suck.

All Miguel Chen ever wanted was to be happy. Just like everyone else.

Butalso like everyone elsehes suffered. A lot. Running from difficult personal losseslike the deaths of loved oneswas something he did for years, and it got the best of him. Eventually, though, he stopped running and started walking a spiritual path. That might be surprising for a dude in a relentlessly touring punk band (Teenage Bottlerocket), but Miguel quickly found that meditation, mindfulness, and yoga really helped. They allowed him to turn inward, to connect to himself and the world around him. Suddenly, he had found actual happiness.

Miguels realistic. He knows it'll never be all sunshine and peaches. And yet, he is (for the most part) at peace with the world and with himself. It shocks even him sometimes. But hes come to see the interconnectedness of all things, the beauty of lifeeven the parts that suck.

Each short chapter ends with a hands-on practice that the reader can put into action right awayand each practice offers a distilled TL;DR takeaway point.

TL;DR: Miguel Chen shares stories, meditations, and practices that can help us reconnect to each other, ourselves, and the world. Theyve worked for himthey can work for anyone.
