To survive the roller-coaster ride of life, with its
ever-changing shifts from pleasure to pain, gain to loss,
and praise to blame, requires a substantial depth of
patience. In this life-changing book, Allan Lokos sheds new
light on this much-sought-after state of mind, and provides
a road map for cultivating greater patience in one's life.
According to Lokos, to develop a depth of patience we must
first acknowledge the unhappiness caused by our impatience
and anger in its many manifestations-from mild annoyance to
rage. In this revelatory book, Lokos draws on his many years
as a Buddhist practitioner and spiritual teacher, as well as
interviews with a wide range of individuals who have had
their patience tested-often dramatically so-and lays out a
compelling path to the heart of patience."
