About this listen

How can we be more mindful when the world is this f--ked up?

How to Stay Human in a F*cked Up World is the fresh, engaging answer to this important question. If you’ve tried mindfulness before and failed, we get it. Likely, you were told to sit on a pillow in a dark room, meditate, or count your breaths. But mindfulness isn’t about separating ourselves from the problems in the world. Instead, it is about relearning how to get out there, connect with the suffering of every living being, and in so doing, embrace your own personal suffering to heal, transform, grow, and finally find peace.

Tim Desmond - an esteemed Buddhist philosopher who has lectured on psychology at both Harvard and Yale and studied under Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh - has spent his life cultivating new ways to bridge the gap between the ancient tradition of mindfulness and modern life. With How to Stay Human in a F*cked Up World, Desmond gets right to the heart of our collective pain with a life-changing mindfulness practice for surviving the sometimes-miserable world we live in, featuring strategies and guidance you can start using to feel more connected, joyful, and present today.

In an increasingly depressing world, this book has some handy tips to help focus on the positive and not get bogged down in the negative. In fact, there were so many useful tips I’ve subsequently bought the hard copy for easy reference to particular parts. Thanks to Tim also for sharing aspects of his difficult personal journey.
