From the book jacket:

"Amidst the barrage of the daily news cycle and the tumult of our personal lives, it may seem natural to contract out of fear or anxiety. But is there a way to face our lives and the world without closing off our hearts? There is such a path, says zen teacher Diane Rizzotto. It can be reached through the teaching of the Buddhist paramitas.....Deep Hope demonstrates the possibility of living with a hopefulness that is grounded in the present moment - a practice of spiritual nourishment and deepening wisdom."
