After the Darkest Hour illustrates the universality of suffering and its power to connect with others. Drawing on a rich selection of mythological and religious stories from many faiths, Brehony provides a historical and cultural context that enriches the meaning of these deeply personal tales and explores the qualities-psychological, behavioral, and spiritual-of those who have turned periods of pain and suffering into opportunities for growth and renewal.
Mastering the art of suffering makes it possible to find courage, meaning, and a renewed appreciation for the remarkable mystery of life. Brehony offers practical advice, strategies, and exercises that will help you approach the difficult situations you face in a more conscious, enlightened way, as well as specific suggestions for creating personal healing rituals. After the Darkest Hour will help you better understand the intricate relationship between destiny and choice, between surrender and control. With Kathleen Brehony showing the way, you can find the blessings and challenges in suffering, and meet even the darkest moments of your life with courage and wisdom.
