equipoise

The human animal is in big trouble. Suffering under the weight of political chaos, social injustice, and ecological overshoot, we’re struggling to find our way. Overwhelmed by uncertainty, ambiguity, and doubt about the future, we don’t know what to think, we don’t know what to feel, and we don’t know how to behave. In other words, we don’t know how to show up.

Solutions are scarce, but one thing is clear. Denial, dogma, certainty, rigid formulas, and apathy put us at even greater risk. Now more than ever, we must stay centered within our experience and act without fear or desperation. This is a book about maintaining our equanimity, courage, and adaptability in the face of personal, social, and ecological turmoil. This is about presence.
