In Standing at the Edge, Joan Halifax combines scientific research with her personal experiences as a humanitarian and social activist to explore how we can respond to suffering with compassion and wisdom. She identifies five psychological territories—altruism, empathy, integrity, respect, and engagement—that represent both the strengths and challenges of the human experience. Through anecdotes from caregivers, activists, and various practitioners, along with insights from Zen and mindfulness practices, this audiobook serves as a powerful guide for transforming suffering into compassion and understanding our full humanity.
