5If you want peace, you have to practice peace. Although you certainly understand that if you want to master your craft, you have to practice your craft; what you might be less aware of is this: Whatever you are practicing every day, you are also mastering. That means if you practice complaining, reacting impulsively or out of anger, or gossiping, you are mastering that. The response you practice to your emotions is the response you master. It's worth it for you to master handling your emotions in the most conscious way possible. In this workbook, you will find 52 exercises (one a week for a year) that will guide you to practicing the kind of responses you hope to have in the face of any emotions you ever experience.
