Rezensionen
"As someone who has spent years chasing achievement and wrestling with anxiety, I've come to see equanimity not as passivity, but as power. This book is a clear and deeply practical expression of a core dharma truth: we can't control what happens, but we can learn to relate to it wisely. Quiet Strength is about the kind of balance that doesn't flatten us, but frees us." - Dan Harris, author of Ten Percent Happier

"Quiet Strength is the mindfulness book of the decade-and the only book that focuses on the magic-like quality of equanimity. Margaret Cullen, one of the nation's most deeply respected mindfulness teachers and pioneers, has created a beautiful masterpiece, integrating wisdom and the emerging science of the mind, with remarkable stories, humor and humility, sharing a generous path that is true salve for the soul."
- Elissa Epel, University of San Francisco professor and New York Times bestselling author of The Telomere Effect and The Stress Prescription

"As a neuroscientist, I was particularly intrigued by Margaret's reporting on the science of equanimity. She weaves together perennial wisdom, compelling stories shared with real vulnerability, and practical tools drawn from her decades of meditation practice and teaching. This book not only offers a clear and insightful exploration of equanimity, it provides a way into it. The result is a guide that feels both timeless and urgently relevant. You'll want to read it slowly and to return to it often." - Amishi Jha, neuroscientist and author of Peak Mind

"Weaving decades of personal practice with the wisdom of teachers spanning spiritual traditions, Cullen's Quiet Strength adds richness and depth to the exploration of equanimity, making it accessible to all, regardless of one's background or religious beliefs." - Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Life

"A user-friendly, multi-pronged, methods-rich, and humorous approach to being in wise relationshipwith deep suffering in all its various forms. At this moment on Planet Earth, it is essential for caring humans to embody and enact this 'many-doors, one room' non-dual wisdom to whatever degree possible." - Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Wherever You Go, There You Are

"In Quiet Strength, Margaret Cullen explores the profound meaning and far-reaching benefits of equanimity-an often overlooked quality so essential to our well-being. True to the spirit of equanimity itself, Margaret draws from a wide range of traditions to illuminate its nuances, challenges, and methods of cultivation. With warmth and wisdom, she offers a path to this open-hearted balance of mind-so urgently needed in these polarized and turbulent times. The courage of her inquiry and the depth of her understanding infuse every page of this transformative work. Highly recommended." - Joseph Goldstein, author of Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening

"Quiet Strength is both the medium and the message of this wise and eminently readable book. From its beginning premise that living life in all of its poignancy is an attainable goal, the reader is gently carried along by contemporary, personal stories, research conclusions, fundamental Buddhist teachings as well as universal expressions of wisdom to the recognition that compassion, held in place by equanimity, is the only redemptive response to universal suffering. I love it!" - Sylvia Boorstein, PhD, cofounding teacher of Spirit Rock Meditation Center and author of Pay Attention, for Goodness' Sakes

"This extraordinary book on equanimity has been written from deep inside decades of teaching, practice, and life as well as the minds and laboratories of thought leaders on the emerging science of equanimity. It is a book all of us need to read in order to actualize equanimity in our own lives and navigate the challenges of our world." - Roshi Joan Jiko Halifax, abbot of the Upaya Zen Center

"Quiet Strength arrives at exactly the right moment. Drawing on decades of teaching, research, and deep practice, Margaret Cullen offers a clear, wise, and practical guide to cultivating equanimity-the steadiness we need to meet life's challenges with clarity, compassion, and resilience." - Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart

"'To be even minded is the greatest virtue,' said the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus, and 2500 years later, Margaret Cullen beautifully updates, expands, and explains this vital virtue and capacity, so sorely needed in our contemporary world." - Roger Walsh, MD, PhD, professor at University of California and cohost of the podcast Deep Transformation: Self-Society-Spirit

"Margaret Cullen has produced a truly wonderful guide to the many faces of equanimity. It takes us on a journey deep into the heart of this vital skill, informed by both modern research and ancient spirituality and philosophy. She also takes it very personally, and explores equanimity from a ve
