I only received a sample of this book quite recently. It’s a hardback and it’s been out for a few months so I thought I probably wouldn’t include it. Then I flicked through it a bit and I realized I loved it. Sharon is pretty unique in this field: what she writes is “proper” Buddhism, no question about it, based on decades of practice, but she has a tremendous skill in relating the teachings to real social and personal issues. There’s no remoteness or monastic quality to what she writes. It comes with deep empathy and deep awareness of real life out there with all its messiness and challenge. Real Change talks about life under Covid isolation, under uncertainty and anxiety, and as a result I think her teachings are invaluable. It’s about relating lovingkindness meditation to making a change in the world. I believe she’s the guide we’ve been waiting for.
