As You Are: Meditations on Self and Other (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798546882532)

At a moment in which the world can feel more uncertain and despairing than ever, Rainier Wylde writes about falling in love with the tragedies and triumphs of being alive, ultimately becoming something solid-a process he calls selfing.

With passion, irreverence and the sacred wonder that has thrilled his daily readership, he writes about loss and fear and romance and a deep connection in every domain of life. He also explores how we as individuals can utilize relationship as a spiritual path.

As You Are collects thirty-one inspiring and intimate teachings together and presents them in a bold and unconventional way, daring us to embody these words in our own life. Wylde shatters the expectation that enlightenment belongs to the religious or the esoteric, but instead is a kind of radical acceptance of what is alongside of profound self-compassion.
