a publié une critique de Standing at the edge par Joan Halifax

via Rebecca Solnit, who provides the introduction

Accounts and reflection, mostly personally connected to the author's global Buddhist peacemaking journey, of deeply lived altruism, empathy, integrity, respect, and engagement (her organizing terms) that are central to ethical life but risk becoming all-consuming and counter-destructive at the extremes. Care and freedom for all is inseparable from care for oneself.
