Sara Avant Stover shares how business can be a conduit for deepening the relationship with the self and cultivating a deeper spiritual practice.

Blake D. Bauer, author of You Were Not Born To Suffer, recounts his journey from being a lost teen to an empowered speaker and teacher, harnessing the tools of meditation and qi gong.

In Elysabeth Williamson's forthcoming book, Becoming Fully Human: How Learning To Feel Saved My Life, she recounts her journey of coming to terms with a difficult childhood and accepting her emotional nature. She shares how she came to understand herself better and how to "undo those patterns of challenging emotional states" in order to find peace. These were patterns laid down in childhood, when she developed "a lot of universal feelings of not worthy, not safe." Her journey has been a healing one, one that also has taught her that "whatever is happening, that's what's teaching us and that's what we're learning. We can either receive that graciously and gratefully, or resist and struggle and fight."

Death is something most of us don't want to or think about. But maybe it's because we're not approaching it in the right way. In his book Preparing to Die: Practical Advice and Spiritual Wisdom From the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition, Andrew Holecek invites us to think about death a little bit differently. "On the most elevated levels, there's no difference between how we want to live and how we want to die," Holocek said in a recent episode of Leading With Genuine Care, adding "If you don't know how to live, then you don't know how to prepare for death either."
