In the more than twenty-five years since she co-founded Omega Institute - now the world's largest center for spiritual retreat and personal growth -Elizabeth Lesser has been an intimate witness to the ways in which people weather change and transition. In a beautifully crafted blend of moving stories, humorous insights, practical guidance, and personal memoir, she offers tools to help us make the choice we all face in times of challenge: Will we be broken down and defeated, or broken open and transformed?

More About Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow
what feels like such a painful loss now will become something beautiful later on. You cannot escape your destiny. You can certainly try. People do so every day. They hold on tight, and the river just dries up. Elizabeth Lesser, Broken Open: How difficult times can help us grow His grief at your leaving is also his fear of losing the power he has had for lifetimes. Those days are over for him, and he is in turmoil. But if you are to help him on his soul's quest, you will leave him. It is your job--your sacred contract--to free him, and to free yourself. Elizabeth Lesser, Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow I am not suggesting that everything bad that happens to us is sent directly by a knowing handcooked up specially for our personal development. Nor do I mean that by using the stuff of life as grist for the mill you will learn what you need to learn and move on into a problem-free world.

What I do mean is that you can use anythingeverythingas a wake-up call; you can find a treasure trove...
3.5 stars. I picked this up because one of my respected Goodreads friends rated it a 5 star and I always love a good spiritual growth type book. It's about letting yourself be "broken open" during difficult times to allow for growth. I am certainly not going through a difficult time but I still appreciated the author's insight. I completely... This is one of the best books, I've ever read. Lesser does a great job of exemplifying that EVERYONE goes through very difficult times no matter how we all appear on the surface. She believes these difficulties are meant as a wake up call to look inside ourselves and do the work to align our life choices with our inner spirit or souls.... This author reminds me a bit of Anne Lamott. Lesser tells her own story of a life that at times seems rather traditional, but at times was really different (commune, midwife, etc). Throughout she includes others' stories as well. The writing is rather spiritual in nature without adhering to any one belief system. She is a good and introspective...
