Join us at Gratitude Yoga on Tuesday, December 5 at 7.30 pm for our monthly Book Club meeting. This month we look forward to continuing our discussion of Love Your Enemies by Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman.

Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, this book introduces us to the four kinds of enemies we encounter in life: the outer enemy, people, institutions, and situations that mean to harm us; the inner enemy, anger, hatred, fear, and other destructive emotions; the secret enemy, self-obsession that isolates us from others; and the super-secret enemy, deep-seated self-loathing that prevents us from finding inner freedom and true happiness. In this practical guide, we learn not only how to identify our enemies, but more important, how to transform our relationship to them. Love Your Enemies teaches us how to break free from the mode of “us” versus “them” thinking and develop compassion, patience, and love. Throughout, authors Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman share stories and exercises for finding peace within yourself and with the world.

Our Book Club meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.30 pm.
