Making a Change for Good
Making a Change for Good will assist anyone to make a change of any kind, whatever the area— diet, fitness, stress, addictions, unskillful behaviors, anxiety, finances, spiritual practice... . Kind, compassionate encouragement for confronting personal issues head on and supportive tools for addressing the struggle are the differences in approach this book offers. Readers realize that lack clarity is the hindrance to addressing an issue, not lack of self-discipline. Rather than being caught in self-hating and self-blaming loops that veer us off course, we can learn to mentor ourselves, and this book teaches us how. The 30-day retreat at the end of the book provides a structure for practicing compassionate self-discipline.

When You're Falling, Dive
When You' re Falling, Dive combines the psychological concept of acceptance with Buddhist teachings, providing useful tools for looking at how suffering happens and how to let that go. The book is written in three parts: What Acceptance Is and Why We Resist; How to Accept; Acceptance, Freedom and Possibility. The primary themes are threefold: accepting what life brings, learning to recognize what acceptance is and discerning one' s psychological mechanisms that stand in the way of being able to accept. Five practices for mentoring oneself to overcome resistance are included: 1) Lower your expectations, 2) learn to see “ who is here,” 3) create for yourself a Q&A mini-workbook, 4) prove to yourself that you are doing nothing wrong and 5) realize the uselessness of comparing yourself to others.
How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything
This self-discovery workbook contains 16 short essays interspersed with writing and drawing exercises on numerous topics, including money, body image, relationships, and career.
What You Practice Is What You Have
Our lives are the result of what we practice. For example, if we practice "chasing after money" or "I'm overwhelmed with work" or "things should be different," that's the life experience we will have. Focusing on "something wrong" and "not enough" will create a life of lack or failure. If we want our lives to be different, we must practice the difference we want. To have a different practice we must 1) recognize our current practice, 2) clarify the practice we want instead, and 3) learn to practice moment by moment what we choose. The sequel to Cheri Huber's perennial best seller There Is Nothing Wrong with You: Going Beyond Self-Hate, this book further exposes with clarity and humor the antics of mental conditioning and self-hate. It introduces the powerful practice of Recording and Listening with tools and techniques to develop the relationship with the Wisdom, Love and Compassion that allow us to transcend self-hate.
How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be
Discover how to increase your awareness and find the happiness you seek, with zen teacher Cheri Huber. Each of us has everything we need to overcome whatever obstacles we encounter. Anyone can do it; it just takes willingness and practice. In the straightforward, engaging style for which she is known, Zen teacher Cheri Huber presents a process for getting where you want to go in life. This process, which is based on Zen awareness training, is explained here in ordinary language. It is demonstrably effective for all who are willing to look honestly at themselves. This fascinating book tells you precisely how to examine an issue that is causing you difficulty, how to discover the source of the challenge, and how to free yourself from the suffering that is created. Step by step, you will be able to follow this path to freedom. Each step is illustrated with examples from Cheri’s life and spiritual practice, as well as from problems that students bring to her. Additionally, each step includes a “survey” in which readers explore their own experiences, emotions, beliefs, and patterns of behavior.
Suffering Is Optional
" ... Keys to compassionate awareness ... pay attention to everything, believe nothing, and don't take anything personally ..."--Cover
I Don't Want To, I Don't Feel Like It
Employing the tenets of Zen Buddhist awareness practice, the book provides numerous exercises and self-help tools for working through problems with resistance, revealing how resistance operates in everyday life and guiding readers to consider how they can be free of it. The teachings in this book show how to recognize resistance in its many forms, not take it personally, and be free of its control. The platform is that the voice of resistance--thoughts such as I'll do it later--is not personal; everyone has it. Instead, it is the voice of a survival system that can take people from commitment to inaction in a matter of seconds. Then, self-hating voices level internal accusations for not having followed through, including thoughts of failure, shame, and lack of self-discipline.
