With the avalanche of information we get e very day\, closing down our minds and hearts seems to be the only way to s urvive. We close off to ourselves by compulsively checking our devices. We close to each other by getting caught in echo chambers of outrage. But wh at if there&rsquo\;s another way? In this climate of distraction and divis ion\, Nate Klemp&rsquo\;s \;Open \;offers a path back to a way of living that is expansive\, creative\, and filled with wonder.
\nDrawing on personal stories\, scientific findings\, and tradi tional wisdom\, Klemp explores why we close down when faced with stressors or threats?then reveals why training ourselves to fully engage even with discomfort\, pain\, and sadness leads to greater well-being in the long ru n. \;
