EVERYTHING MIND: WHAT I’VE LEARNED ABOUT HARD KNOCKS, SPIRITUAL AWAKENING, AND THE MIND-BLOWING TRUTH OF IT ALL

Book ID/图书代码： 12317515B85757

English Summary/英文概要： "I’m not a yogi from the Himalayas, a preacher from the pulpit, or a guru with dollar signs in my eyes," says Chris Grosso. "The truth is, as a result of years of heavy drug and alcohol addiction, I’ve been to some extremely dark places that resulted in a literal life-or-death search for something more. Now this emerging voice of the spiritual counterculture presents a riveting and insightful book about meditation, the search for deeper meaning, and the life-changing (and life-saving) process of waking up.

Rich with hard-won wisdom and valuable instruction, Everything Mind invites us to join a spiritual quest that’s not about creeds or beliefs-it’s a raw, direct experience of the heart, mind, and soul. "Cultivating a spiritual lifestyle may be the most challenging undertaking you’ll ever face," says Chris. "Spirituality isn’t a quick fix that magically makes life easy (no matter what you’ve heard), but it can teach us how to meet all of life with an open heart-which, when you get down to it, is pretty fucking amazing."

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Chris Grosso 在本书中写道：我不是喜马拉雅山的修道者、讲坛上的传道士或是只看得到钱的人。事实上，由于多年的沉重药物和酒精成瘾的结果，我也去过一些非常黑暗的地方，最终导致我开始了对于更丰富的生活的追求。现在，这本有关冥想的书给我带来了内心的声音，让我寻找更深层次的意义，一觉醒来即发现生活已经完全改变。本书中的智慧和指导都来之不易，邀请我们加入精神的追求。这无关信仰或信念，而是和心、头脑和灵进行最原始和最直接的接触。养成一种精神生活方式可能是人所面临的最艰巨的任务。所谓灵性并不能让我们的生活奇迹般地变得简单，但它可以教我们如何用一种开放的心态感受生活。(LYR)

Awards/获奖情况：我认真研读了这本书。通过分享他的人生旅途，Chris Grosso是一盏照在我们心头的灯。这是给予心灵的一道精神大餐，让我们的生活拥有味觉，让我们的心灵和头脑得以消化。（Jeff Bridges，得奖演员、音乐家以及纽约时报畅销书作家，合著有《The Dude and the Zen Master》）

如果我对于未来，对于达摩的真理，对于科学以及后现代主义的永恒智慧有所怀疑，真正具有启发性的做法就是我会从年轻一代身上寻找灵感，就好比Chris Grosso这样的人。在本书中，Chris让我们很清晰地看到如何从人的普遍状态（各种不满足和不适应）通过修行古代佛经、圣经、吠陀和禅等等而恢复过来。这个年轻人知道他在说些什么。（Surya Das喇嘛，著有《Make Me One with Everything》和《Awakening the Buddha Within》，Dzogchen中心的创办人）

"I dig this book. By sharing his life’s journey, Chris Grosso shines a light on our own. Everything Mind is a spiritual meal cooked for today, for us living now to taste, for our hearts and minds to digest." ―Jeff Bridges, Academy Award®-winning actor, musician, and New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Dude and the Zen Master

"If I begin to worry about the future of the Dharma Large-universal truth, genuinely enlightening practices, and the timeless wisdom traditions in our scientific, postmodern, secular era-I look to the younger generation for inspiration, people like fellow inter-meditator and Dharma buddy Chris Grosso. In Everything Mind, Backyard Bodhisattava Chris helps us make significant steps to recover from the human condition (of dissatisfaction and malaise) while juicing enticing ancient Sutras, the Bible, the Vedas, and Zen koans. He combines this with the contemporary-thrash metal, skateboarding, and the Occupy Movement-and the result is both sublime and delightful. His bullshit detector is well-tuned as he tears down spiritual barriers and constructs connections across generations, opening our inclusive everything minds and our spacious and warm everything hearts. This young Bodhisattva knows of what he speaks." ―Lama Surya Das, author of Make Me One with Everything and Awakening the Buddha Within, and founder of the Dzogchen Center and Dzogchen Retreats

"Chris Grosso’s Everything Mind will leave you rocking out to head-banger music, laughing until you pee, wishing you had finally gotten that tattoo, and in awe of the author’s candid vulnerability as he shares tales of his audacious life. Because it slides down like a margarita on a hot summer night, you might not realize you’ve just had surgery. Everything Mind is a scalpel of truth, slicing through your illusions, your self-deceptions, your ego, and everything else that separates you from the magnificence of your spiritual essence. But fear not! This is a surgery you’ll be grateful to undergo because it transports you into the frequency of miracles. This book will lay bare your soul and leave you breathless, your heart bursting open at the realization that we are all connected, we are perfect just as we are, we are never, ever alone, and if we’re brave enough to walk the spiritual path with earnest humility, we can experience heaven on earth. Truly medicine for the soul. I love, love, love this book." ―Lissa Rankin, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine and The Fear Cure

"Chris Grosso’s tough life lessons inform his no-bullshit spirituality in Everything Mind. A holy ferocity is in the heart of awakening, Chris takes us there and shares visionary tools to deepen with.
