How to Be a Good Dog: Learning to Sit, Stay, and Heal

"How to Be a Good Dog: Learning to Sit, Stay, and Heal" is a field manual for people who want to stop the madness in their minds. Learning to meditate is about taking that wild puppy in your mind-- you know, the one eating socks and ripping up the couch--and transforming it into a reliable companion. While meditation may seem simple, it is no easy feat. Training your puppy mind requires discipline, courage, and the willingness to be quiet. No phones, kids, co-workers, or partners--meditation is the bravest solo trek you'll ever take.
When you train your mind to sit, stay, and heal, you open your mind to a powerful force you never knew you had. Your mind will respond to every blow, joy, and sorrow with willingness, humor, and peace. Once your mind is a good dog, there is no going back to the chaos of puppyhood. If you want to heal the world, you must begin with yourself. Your healing will radiate out to your family, loved ones, and communities. Train your mind through meditation, and life will become a walk in the park.
