Happily Even After


Book Description

Alan Cohen shows us how to approach relationship parting in a way that bestows us with strength and empowerment, rather than pain and sadness. Alan tells us that we should define the success of a relationship by the quality of aliveness we experienced while the relationship thrived, and that although you may no longer have romantic love for each other, you can have a spiritual love that can endure forever. He calls this kind of love "Big Love." "Big Lovers recognize that the key to enjoying a better relationship with your next partner is to appreciate the last one—for both the joys you shared and what you learned through the challenges." If you are ready to move from fear and separateness to mutual empowerment,— if you are ready to grow beyond strife, —this book offers you a new vision and many tools to live by.




Are You as Happy as Your Dog


Book Description

Have you ever wondered if your dog knows more about joyful living than you? I met a man who told me, "For years I was so miserable that I prayed to God daily to please let me wake up as happy as my dog!" I went home and observed my dog Munchie, who is happy all the time. Munchie is the most joyful creature I have ever seen. He lives in a state of continuous delight and discovery. It became clear to me that Munchie knew something I didn’t know (or at least didn’t remember). So I decided to study Munchie’s attitude to see what he knew that I was missing. Professor Munchie’s lessons include: • Love to Be a Lover • Ask for What You Want • Keep Your Eye on the Ball • Give Your Heart to Someone • Get Off the Leash Sometimes • Dig Where the Real Bones Are • Don’t Settle for Mush • And Dream with Your Feet Moving




The Tao Made Easy


Book Description

“Alan Cohen brings to life ancient wisdom for a new era deeply in need of enlightenment. Fresh insights, practical, easy entry, and immense delight!” — Chungliang Al Huang, president-director, Living Tao Foundation, and co-author with Alan Watts of Tao: The Watercourse Way May you live during interesting times: so goes an ancient Chinese blessing—or some say curse. That wish has come true for us. Now what? In this radically illuminating book, Alan Cohen delves into one of the world’s most venerated wisdom texts for answers and brings the lofty and enigmatic concepts of the Tao Te Ching down to earth in fresh, easy-to-grasp language with practical, personal examples we can use to uplift our daily lives. Most other interpretations of the Tao march through the stanzas one by one. Here Alan Cohen calls forth the ancient verses around themes that are central to our modern lives —from love to work to the lessons we learn from pain. Then he brings each message to life in short vignettes where he imagines himself a student of Lao Tse and interacts with the master directly and intimately. He invites you to join the ancient sage and the contemporary seeker as they wend their way through the challenges and triumphs of the same journey you’re taking yourself.
