YOU ARE GOOD, YOU ARE ENOUGH

Lodro Rinzler

Free Yourself from the Trap of Doubt and Return to Basic Goodness

Is your inner critic running your life? Buddhist meditation teacher Lodro Rinzler shares down-to-earth wisdom to help you overcome self-doubt and find your authentic voice.

With 5 guided meditation, and 15 "on-the-spot" exercises

Drawing from over two decades of teaching and leading meditation workshops, best-selling author Lodro Rinzler offers a transformative exploration of the Buddhist concept of basic goodness. In 33 short chapters, and through heartfelt anecdotes and practical exercises, he illustrates how recognizing our inherent self-worth can heal the wounds of isolation and fear exacerbated by modern society.

Rinzler explores:
The core concept of basic goodness and the three steps of living a life based in basic goodness to integrate into your daily life
How we are born basically good, but society conditions us to doubt ourselves
Feelings of imposter syndrome
Our hyper focus on perfectionism
How to cultivate presence and curiosity in long-term relationships and to stay attuned to the basic goodness of your partner
How to combat overwhelm and connect to basic goodness when bombarded by the daily news cycle
And much more

Rinzler offers us a path to rediscover our innate wholeness and cultivate compassion for ourselves and others. By embracing our basic goodness, Rinzler believes we can create a more connected, empathetic world. This book is a beacon of hope for anyone feeling disconnected or unworthy, showing that the key to a fulfilling life lies within our true nature. The book includes five guided meditations (which readers can also access as guided recordings online via a link in the book) and 15 practical "on-the-spot" exercises.

LODRO RINZLER is a Buddhist teacher and the author of several books, including the international bestseller The Buddha Walks into a Bar. He is also the cofounder of MNDFL meditation studios in New York City.

I've been a fan of Lodro's books and in-person meditations for many years. With warmth and humor, he has a practical and encouraging way of reminding us that we are good enough and that the consistent practice of being present can have a profound impact on our lives. Lodro's writing makes these big ideas feel accessible, totally doable, and fun! This book feels like a big exhale and a reminder we all need.

This book is a breakthrough. Simple, powerful, and ready to help anyone who's ready. Profound wisdom, generously offered.

Lodro Rinzler invites us to rediscover 'basic goodness' as the ground of our lives, relationships, and society, moving from self-acceptance to compassion for others, and finally to transforming how we see the world. This book beautifully blends Buddhist wisdom with down-to-earth guidance. With practical reflections and everyday practices, it shows how to work with doubt, shame, and conflict, and how to recognize the innate goodness in yourself, your loved ones, strangers, and even the world at large. Timely, relevant, and useful for this modern world, it is a guide to living with clarity, confidence, and kindnessjust right here, right now.
