No Time Like the Present: Finding Freedom, Love, and Joy Right Where You Are
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Through his signature warmhearted, poignant, often funny stories, with their a-ha moments and O. Henry-like outcomes, Jack Kornfield shows how we can free ourselves, wherever we are and whatever our circumstances. Renowned for his mindfulness practices and meditations, Jack provides keys for opening gateways to immediate shifts in perspective and clarity of vision, allowing us to "grapple with difficult emotions" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) and know how to change course, take action, or—when we shouldn't act—just relax and trust.
Each chapter presents a path to a different kind of freedom—freedom from fear, freedom to start over, to love, to be yourself, and to be happy—and guides you into an active process that engages your mind and heart, awakens your spirit, and brings real joy, over and over again. Drawing from his own life as a son, brother, father, and partner, and on his forty years of face-to-face teaching of thousands of people across the country, Jack presents "a consommé of goodness, heart, laughter, tears, and breath, nourishing and delicious" (Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird). His keys to life will help us find hope, clarity, relief from past disappointments and guilt, and the courage to go forward.

Starred review from April 10, 2017
Kornfield (A Path with Heart) centers this inspiring book on realizing and practicing freedom in multiple facets of life: love, forgiveness, imperfection, authenticity, and more. Through many stories gathered during his time as a meditation teacher and psychologist, Kornfield reveals how it is easy to become stuck due to troubling emotions or external situations. He espouses the practice of mindfulness, in which one pays attention to the present moment without adding or becoming overwhelmed by mental commentary and can begin experiencing freedom in whatever circumstances may be present. Rather than using mindfulness to escape or avoid the negative, Kornfield finds freedom by trusting in the process of acknowledging, naming, and expressing suppressed emotions. When confronting them, one can “resist or be gracious.” Ultimately, he writes, one is “letting be” rather than “letting go.” By letting be, one can abide in the joy of freedom as well as the fear of the unknown or insecurity over imperfections or mistakes. Realizing freedom in the present moment, he says, means participating in acts of creation to “reclaim the soul” and standing up for others in the spirit of moral action, virtue, respect, and mutual care. Any reader of this work will find a compassionate, light-hearted, and humorous teacher who leads readers to grapple with difficult emotions.
