After the Ecstasy, the Laundry

Spiritual enlightenment is achievable, but what happens after the ecstasy? Jack Kornfield's book explores the challenge of translating that freedom into our everyday lives, or as he puts it, "the laundry." Using personal accounts and religious traditions like Buddhism, Judaism, and Christianity, Kornfield provides honest insight into how the spiritual journey unfolds and how to prepare ourselves for it. This book offers a moving and intimate portrayal of how an enlightened heart navigates family relationships, emotional pain, earning a living, sickness, loss, and death.
