The Dharma in Difficult Times

Scholar and teacher Stephen Cope shows that crises don't have to derail us from our purpose - they can actually help us to find our purpose and step forward as our best selves. Cope takes the ancient yogic text the Bhagavad Gita - the epic narrative of the warrior Arjuna's odyssey of self-discovery - as a model for the reader's journey. Then he builds on that foundation using the stories and teachings of famous figures. Along the way, we find striking examples for finding meaning and purpose in our livesas we forge a path through crisis.
