Communal living expert David Viafora pinpoints the nine principles in any community that can create the conditions for joy and solidity
Research over the last few decades, both in the US and abroad, shows us that the fabric of community life is unraveling as our social resources deteriorate, the climate crisis grows, and the population continues to rise. Is there another way to live? Where can we look to for guidance?
In this perceptive and inspiring book, David Viafora, a former Buddhist monk, argues that we can reverse these trends where it counts the most--in our own lives and neighborhoods. Creating or joining an eco-minded mindfulness community may not be everyone, but everyone can benefit from the insight that comes from those communities. The nine principles Viafora uncovers include Vision, Service, and Appreciation--they are broad and easily applicable to our existing social structures.
Those who have stronger and more intimate relationships with family, friends, and community are happier and healthier, and they live longer. The happiest and most resilient people are not without conflict, but they lean into their closest relationships, especially when facing tough life challenges. Once we wake up to the fact that community has a pivotal influence on the health of our bodies, minds, and world, we can begin to build more trustworthy, supportive connections and meaningful lives.
