The Dharma in Difficult Times: Finding Your Calling in Times of Loss, Change, Struggle and Doubt

How can we find our true calling and choose the right path in the midst of disruption, conflict and tragedy?

The Dharma in Difficult Times is for anyone who seeks to live a more fulfilled life - for everyone who wants to pursue their passion, genius and authentic calling.

It continues the message of Stephen Cope’s previous book, The Great Work of Your Life, which gave readers a road map for the journey to their true calling. As well as showing us how to find our true purpose in difficult times, it shows how times of crisis can actually create the conditions for us to step forward as our best selves.

Stephen takes the ancient yogic text, the Bhagavad Gita - which itself lays out a systematic programme of self-realisation - and builds on that foundation using the teachings, thoughts and life stories of major figures in the arts, sciences, religion and more.

Stephen’s work has been described as ‘deep, richly engaging and wise’ (Jack Kornfield), ‘a rich source of contemplation and inspiration’ (Publishers Weekly) and ‘like an owner’s manual for the soul’ (Dani Shapiro).
