Overview
"This book is filled with all the wisdom and compassion Stephen has gleaned from years of teaching, healing and peace work in Israel and Palestine." – Jack Kornfield
"deeply nurturing and illuminating" – Jon Kabat-Zinn
This book describes the magical, rich and fulfilled way of living that comes when we act according to Buddhist principles. Mindfulness – or the practice of paying attention to the present moment – is a part of this, but only one part. This book reveals exactly how radical, exciting and life-changing it can be if we transform our daily life according to the exceptional Buddhist wisdom of compassion, joy, detachment and liberation. Written in in simple, straightforward language, the book contains 50 essays covering every aspect of modern life, ranging from the mundane to the spiritual. Topics include:
- How to be fulfilled at work
- How to relate to money
- What mindfulness really means
- How to find the magic of the moment
- What being authentic means
- How to age wisely
- How to be friends with your own body
- How to step off the treadmill of the daily grind
- How to radically shift our thoughts, emotions and difficult memories
- Ways to grasp spiritual concepts such as enlightenment, non-duality and equanimity.
This book goes all the way from the ordinary to the sublime and will imbue your life once more with the sense of wonder that you felt as a child. It will allow you to put down the burdens of anxiety, joylessness, restlessness or a judging mind. And it will do all this by enabling you to shift your experience of the world in a truly profound way.

About the Author
What People are Saying About This
"If we are to flourish during these times of global crises, we need to awaken the fullness of our natural wisdom and compassion. This illuminating book helps us remember the deepest truths and capacities of who we are, and invites us to inhabit our full aliveness, awareness and heart."
– Tara Brach, author of Radical Compassion
“The way I use the word “mindfulness,” there is nothing beyond it, because it is shorthand for deeply embodied wisdom and its myriad expressions in life. But in this deeply nurturing and illuminating book, Stephen Fulder unfurls the universe that gave birth to the most refined articulation of mindfulness on the planet, and how it can be understood and nurtured both from the more traditional Buddhist perspective, and from a more universal and inclusionary perspective, for the benefit of all. Stephen’s life trajectory and choices are an embodiment of his fierce love of what is most sacred, and most easily missed.”
– Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Full Catastrophe Living and Falling Awake
“This book is filled with all the wisdom and compassion Stephen has gleaned from years of teaching, healing and peace work in Israel and Palestine.”
– Jack Kornfield, author of A Path With Heart
"He points readers toward the exploration of a full range of the human experience, offering fresh perspectives on such themes as ethics, work, money, generosity, the heart, daily wisdom and the significance of waking up."
– Christopher Titmuss, Buddhist teacher and author
"Stephen Fulder has written a book that is at once deep, authentic and accessible. With clarity and heartfulness, What's Beyond Mindfulness? helps us understand complex topics such as emptiness and liberation as well as how we can skilfully integrate that understanding into our daily lives while making a meaningful contribution to this world. This book is a gem."
– James Baraz, co-author of Awakening Joy: 10 Steps to a Happier Life and co-founding teacher of Spirit Rock Meditation Center, Woodacre, California
