Confidence: Holding Your Seat through Life’s Eight Worldly Winds

In today’s culture of polarization and constant change, how do we find the confidence to navigate challenges? Is now really the time for meditation, for looking inward? In his new book Confidence: Holding Your Seat through Life’s Eight Worldly Winds, meditation teacher Ethan Nichtern tackles these questions, taking contemporary considerations of power, identity, ethics, and confidence to new heights in this essential guide to self-discovery.

At this event, Ethan will use the lens of 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, to offer a fresh perspective on what being confident can really mean. Delving into these dichotomies reveals invaluable insights into our relationships with others (including teachers, friends, leaders, family) and ourselves.

Ethan will be available to sign books which will be for sale at the event. A 2-minute video on the book can be seen here.

A renowned contemporary Buddhist teacher and the host of The Road Home Podcast, Nichtern has offered meditation and Buddhist psychology classes at conferences, meditation centers, yoga studios, and universities. He has been featured by CNN, NPR, the New York Times, Vogue, and Business Insider and has written for the Huffington Post, Beliefnet, Lion’s Roar, Tricycle, Buddhadharma, and more.
