Equanimity is often taught as a complement to the practices of lovingkindness and compassion because it's understood in Buddhist psychology that if we only practice lovingkindness and compassion, we can mistakenly get attached to the way we think things are supposed to be. We then might grasp and struggle with the world rather than serving it.

Jackβs timeless wisdom leads the way as he responds to a handful of questions concerning some of the common struggles encountered on the human plane.
He explores:
β How do we stay present when feeling unpleasant emotions without giving in to them?
β Why is desire considered a cause for suffering when it can be an impetus for joy, creativity, or satisfaction? Jack explains the confusion some have with the term desire.
β Feelings of jealousy and how to work through or deal with them in meditation.
β Working with the ego.
β How tending to our spiritual life is a lot like gardening.
