Advanced Praise for Question Your Life:
Question Your Life offers a way to appreciate our life and to help us move beyond the small world of our resentments. As we go beyond our habitual way of understanding our past, we can begin to see the gifts of our life that we may have been blind to. Each offering within this book opens a process of illumination and transformation: as we realize that we are more than our old stories, we can let go of the weight of our pain and allow space for a deep sense of gratitude to emerge.
This book is a wonderful illumination of Naikan's power to help humanity heal. The stories reveal a simple, raw honesty told from the lived experience of people who know suffering, humility, and forgiveness. Here is a practice to uncover what else is true about our lives and in the relationships closest to us. A truly beautiful collection.
Gregg always seems to bring new ways to look at the questions of Naikan and how they might broaden and deepen the stories we tell ourselves about our lives. It is a wonderful and heart opening read, with so many examples of how Naikan can be used and how it has already changed so many lives. Take a peek, read an essay and let it change you.
