The Observer and the Lover
Everything Is Perfect: A Philosophy of Conscious ParticipationBy Benoît TeichiRecorded TrackLength1h 47m
About this audiobook
What if the moment you are fighting is the place where your life begins?
Most of us live in one of two ways. We stand back and watch life from a distance, or we dive in so deeply that we get lost.
In The Observer and the Lover, Benoît Teichi offers a third way. Inside each of us there is an Observer, the light in us that sees, and a Lover, the body that feels. And there is the Participant: you, awake inside your own human life.
Drawing on simple, honest moments from his own life, Benoît shows how to meet each moment as it is, want deeply without chasing desperately, do your part fully and let go of what is not yours to control, and forgive without closing your heart.
Warm, simple, and deeply human, this is not a book about escaping life. It is a book about living it.
Narrated by a digital voice.
