part 7

choice and kindness

In this part of the book, we’ll continue to explore the advantage of responding—choosing your actions—rather than reacting. We’ll take a closer look at almost moments—the space between impulse and action—and learn about four common ways of dealing with times when we feel threatened. Additionally, we’ll play with some fun mnemonics—acronyms or memory devices that tie everything we’ve been practicing together into easily remembered steps. And you will begin practicing loving-kindness for yourself and others.
