Does your blood pressure rise every time you pull into traffic? Do you start to fume when someone cuts ahead of you in line? Does the world seem populated by endlessly rude people? Are you exhausted trying to keep up with the Joneses and overly anxious about world events?
It’s one thing to lead a focused and peaceful life in the quiet seclusion of an ashram or monastery, but what about where most of us actually live—in a noisy metropolis or bustling suburb? Hip, helpful, and humorous, City Dharma is the essential guide for everyone who’s forced to make a living, ?nd someone to love, or just get through the day in the congested and inhospitable environments most of us call home.
Arthur Jeon leads weekly talks called Dharma Conversations and teaches yoga in Santa Monica, California. His newest book is Sex, Love, and Dharma.
