Free Course from Jack Kornfield

(1/1)

lighter:
My T forwarded Jack Kornfield's info on an    course called Stand Up For Compassion......
"A free course and resource for navigating uncertain times."

It seems relevant🙏

Let me know what you guys think

I interviewed him at length many years ago, not too long after "Chicken Soup for XXXX" books became a huge marketing plan. Our publishing company did one of them, I forget which title.

I found him highly self promoting and gimmicky rather than wise. Ended our interview with a creeped-out but resigned feeling. He was a very smart marketer who scavenged aphorisms from all over the place, or identified common themes humans struggle with and designed the next book (now "course") collections from all over from various sources about such themes. I found him clever but not thoughtful, and a near-parasitic borrower of ideas.

Maybe he's better now! The old blunt editor I once was speaking...

It's good to have informed views, Hops.  I think my T has attended a couple of his silent retreats, only.

I'm often surprised at how people process similar messages from different presenters.
