Review "A beautiful and poignant call-to-action to make our own pilgrimage into the mountainous heartlands of life after loss, showing us what it means to live a full and joyful life in the face of impermanence. I feel enlarged by reading this. I read Kokoro at the perfect moment when I needed it the most; at a time when I am navigating my own midlife questions and grief. What a gift to the world this book is! Packed full of wisdom and insight from a culture that knows how to wrestle with the nature of impermanence, Kokoro connected me back with my own heartmind as I read it, whispering in the most comforting way that if this is it then I better stay in touch with what matters most. Beth is always such a compassionate and generous guide to what it means to live a fearless and creative life, and this book is no different. By walking us up sacred mountains, introducing us to the people she meets along the way, and by letting us into her own questions, we are about to see our own better, for which I am so grateful and inspired."--Ruth Allen, author of Grounded and Weathering"A masterpiece."--Joey Hulin, author of Your Spiritual Almanac and Your Manifesting Year"A remarkable book.
