Daizan interviews Mark Kuren Westmoquette about his upcoming retreat on difficult people & conflict

Daizan talks to Mark Kuren Westmoquette ‪@MarkWestmoquette‬ author of "Zen And The Art of Dealing With Difficult People" (Watkins, 2021) - a book about how to bring our mindfulness and Zen practice to bear on dealing with challenging people, relationships and situations. It helps readers explore their reactions, break free from knee-jerk response patterns and see how difficult people can turn out to be some of our best teachers in life.
Mark will be leading a weekend retreat on 11-14th July 2024 in Derbyshire, UK, focussed on exploring difficult people and conflict. More info here zenways.org/ev...
Daizan starts by asking Mark about how the book was conceived and about his own experiences with difficult people over his life. He goes on to highlight Mark's podcast "Zen at the Sharp End" and some of the other ways Mark is expanding on the material in the book.
For more about the book, see zenways.org/pr... or search on Amazon.

Hello Sirs. Your books make an especially good combination and helped me to appreciate and realise a few very important things. I listen to them every now and then (the audiobooks) to remind myself of those lessons. Thank you.
