Coping and Finding Resilience During Troubled Times

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed and affected by many (or all) of the events happening nationally and globally, (and if you feel like crawling under the covers and hibernating), these books might help. These titles are not traditional "self-help" style guides, Many any of these books are rooted in Buddhist and indigenous philosophies and approaches.
