New York Open Center, NYC

When we develop our capacity for skillful living, we discover that it is possible to feel a sense of well-being in daily life regardless of whether life is pleasant or difficult. In his new book Emotional Chaos to Clarity: How to Live More Skillfully, Make Better Decisions, and Find Purpose in Life, Phillip Moffitt maps out the journey from being caught in the contraction and turmoil of emotional reactivity to the openness and clarity of living with a responsive mind. 

In this evening meditation and dharma talk based on the book, Phillip will lead an exploration of Buddhist teachings and practices that can help you develop a set of life skills – such as setting priorities and identifying core values and intentions - that can profoundly improve your ability to respond to any difficult life situation and help you discover a renewed enthusiasm for life. From the vantage point of a responsive mind, you have the possibility to appreciate and experience the joy and peace that are always already here.
