Whether it's a choice, such as a class we' ve signed up for, or a chore we feel we have no choice about, resistance (a voice in the head saying "I don' t want to, I don' t feel like it") can rocket us from commitment to inaction in a matter of seconds. Employing the tenets of Zen Awareness Practice, the book provides numerous exercises and tools for working through resistance. It reveals how the voice of resistance operates in everyday life, the many forms it takes, and how to be free of it. Transcending resistance is a practice of recognizing it as a process that happens to everybody and not taking it personally.
