About this listen
A funny, wise, and relatable exploration of how to stand firm amid the ups and downs of existence, from a renowned teacher and writer hailed as "the future of Buddhism".
In today's culture of intense polarization and constant change, how do we find the confidence to navigate life's challenges? Is now really the time for meditation, for looking inward? What do we do with mindfulness? Ethan Nichtern, described by Vogue as "a supercool, deeply kind brainiac," and one of the leading meditation teachers of our time, tackles these questions head-on in Confidence. This provocative book takes contemporary considerations of power, identity, ethics, and confidence to new heights, offering listeners an essential guide to self-discovery.
Nichtern examines the Buddhist concept of the Eight Worldly Winds, the four paired opposites of praise and blame, pleasure and pain, fame and insignificance, and success and failure. By delving into these dichotomies, listeners gain invaluable insights into their relationships with others (including teachers, friends, leaders, the disgraced, and the adored) and themselves. With four transformative meditation exercises, this book empowers listeners to cultivate and access their innate confidence and wisdom.

Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, this book introduces us to the four kinds of enemies we encounter in life.

Bring Me the Rhinoceros is an unusual guide to happiness and a can opener for your thinking. For fifteen hundred years, Zen koans have been passed down through generations of masters, usually in private encounters between teacher and student. This book deftly retells more than a dozen traditional koans, which are partly paradoxical questions dangerous to your beliefs and partly treasure boxes of ancient wisdom. John Tarrant brings the heart of the koan tradition out into the open, reminding us that the old wisdom remains as vital as ever.

Story
Why do things happen the way they do in our lives? How do we create the causes for a happy life? The Buddhist practice of mind training gives us the answer to these questions: it involves overcoming our self-centered attitude and replacing it with an attitude that cherishes others. This, in turn, leads us to act in ways that naturally lead away from suffering and toward happiness—in short, to create good karma.

Deborah Adele uses a lifetime of learning and study to bring understanding to these essential yoga concepts. The Sutras explain that the Kleshas create versions of the truth for our minds that are the most appealing. These appealing truths are often false, and they create entanglements that prevent us from being truly happy. As we grasp for more appealing truths, we only create a cycle of needs and wants that confusingly never satisfy.

The people who get under your skin the most can in fact be your greatest teachers. It’s not a matter of overlooking differences - for those very differences offer a path to profound connection. Diane Hamilton’s practical, reality-based guide to living harmoniously with even your most irritating fellow humans - spouses, partners, colleagues, parents, children - shows that “getting along” is really a matter of discovering that our differences are nothing other than an expression of our even deeper shared unity.

Because, Pema Chödrön teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more powerful experience of being fully alive.

I love the way Ethan Nichtern thinks and writes. My hardcopy of Confidence is already underlined and dog-eared, but I loooooved hearing it read aloud. I need to be reminded of these practices and concepts many times a day, and having an audio version makes that easy!

A different book about confidence
Loved the book, it made me look at confidence in a different way. It also made me self reflect if I’m really showing up in the world or being apathetic in my life.
The only thing I would change is to have Ethan read this book. He did such a great job reading his other books I don’t know why he chose not to read this one, hopefully he will next time.

This is a gift
while many may not agree with the politics expressed, I found those examples from real life relatable. I wish there was a pdf or supplement to download to use when I am ready to practice some of the meditations suggested. Overall, I really enjoyed and valued the time spent listening to the author share this work.

Needlessly political
Never left a bad review in my life but hope others don’t make same mistake. Bought this book to learn about actual and timeless Buddhist philosophies and end up getting lectured on woke identity politics for most of it. This book has a clear political narrative he’s looking to justify instead of actual philosophy. I find the title and description very misleading. Wish I could get my credit back

Would probably be good, without all the US political analysis
I was so excited to listen to this book. I love the idea, and the general principals are exactly what I need in my life - but the author brings up United States politics throughout the book - which really takes one out of the underlying premise. I recognize that US politics are central to the author’s story - but it makes the book about him, not about the subject.
