But it can still be filled with joy--maybe even more joy than we expect. Described by the \u003ci\u003eNew York Journal of Books\u003c\/i\u003e as \"a Buddhist Anne Lamott,\" Zen teacher and writer Susan Moon persuades us that as we notice we are impermanent, we get to come alive in new ways. Joining levity with tenderness, Moon shares stories from her own life on topics including knee replacements, Zoom chats with grandchildren, ongoing companionship with a close friend who is moving deeper into dementia, and a season as a Zen monk in the wilderness. Moon illustrates the strength that can come from within, sometimes unexpectedly, even as our bodies fail. Our radiant aliveness can be discovered and rediscovered any time up to the last moment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlive Until You're Dead\u003c\/i\u003e offers a Zen approach to facing our impermanence. Moon's stories explore being present with what is, not turning away from what's difficult, wishing for and working for the wellbeing of others, and being willing not to know what's next. These field notes from an old human being invite us to feel more alive in the final stretch, whatever it holds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Moon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611809630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611809633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2022 pg. 2","brand":"Susan Moon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049190093055,"sku":"9781611809633","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60ef61c5-9f6b-457e-9b5e-ee964058201b.jpg?v=1685000160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alive-until-youre-dead-susan-moon-9781611809633","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
