"Miguel Chen turns spirituality on its head by inviting us into his worldthe punk realm of dark rock halls, fk you's, and loud musicand he challenges us to find spirituality amid the noise and chaos. This is a book of self-care for a world that increasingly resembles a mosh pit."Jason Garner, author of . . . And I Breathed
All Miguel Chen ever wanted was to be happy. Just like everyone else. Butalso like everyone elsehe's suffered. A lot. Running from difficult personal losseslike the deaths of loved oneswas something he did for years, and it got the best of him. Eventually, though, he stopped running and started walking a spiritual path. That might be surprising for a dude in a relentlessly touring punk band (Teenage Bottlerocket), but Miguel quickly found that meditation, mindfulness, and yoga really helped. They allowed him to turn inward, to connect to himself and the world around him. Suddenly, he had found actual happiness. Miguel's realistic. He knows it'll never be all sunshine and peaches. And yet, he is (for the most part) at peace with the world and with himself. It shocks even him sometimes. But he's come to see the interconnectedness of all things, the beauty of lifeeven the parts that suck. Each short chapter ends with a hands-on practice that the reader can put into action right awayand each practice offers a distilled "TL;DR" takeaway point.
