Synopsis

Buddhism has been applied to everything from parenting to golf, but until now no one has offered Buddhist principles as a healing path through divorce. In Storms Can't Hurt the Sky, Gabriel Cohen bravely delves into his personal experience-along with insights from Buddhist masters, parables, humor, social science studies, and interviews with other divorces-to provide a practical and very helpful guide to surviving the pain of any break-up. Focusing on the emotions most common in the dissolution of a relationship-anger, resentment, loss, and grief -- Storms Can't Hurt the Sky shows how thinking about these feelings in surprisingly different ways can lead to a radically better experience. This compulsively readable book offers sound advice and much-needed empathy for anyone dealing with a break-up.

Though not going through a divorce, I applied the info to other difficulties i have had with friends, family etc. this book gave me inspiratio......more

Goodreads review by Greg on April 21, 2020

This is one of many books I've read to help me heal, let go, and move on from the single most painful experience of my life. Cohen's story is incredibly relatable and his narrative is easy to follow. He is not overly prescriptive regarding the principles of Buddhism. Rather, he explains how he explo......more

Goodreads review by Matt on June 29, 2023

I can some up the soul of this book with the following… ‘Kindness is so important. It’s not logical - you can decide to be kind even if the other person is being an asshole. I think if two people really decide to be kind to each other they can find their way through everything.’......more
