Choosing to Be is a lively, magical, and enlightening tale that revolves around a wise Maine Coon cat, his kitten muse, and the author Kat Tansey. Together they undertake a challenging and often amusing journey from the disorienting haze of depression to the freedom and clarity of the Buddha mind. The lessons they uncover are of great importance to anyone seeking inner peace in a stressful world.

I was on the Virtual Light Broadcast in late November, talking about my journey and why I wrote Choosing to Be. We also discussed the hindrances to meditation and how to deal with them.
