Availability: InStock

Joan Halifax explores five fundamental 'borderline states' - altruism, empathy, integrity, respect and commitment - that reveal our true human potential. In On the Edge of the Abyss, the author examines how these states can be a source of both transformation and suffering, and offers practical tools for finding balance. Combining scientific research on compassion, Zen wisdom, and the experiences of caregivers and activists, Halifax presents a guide to navigating these thresholds of change and discovering authentic freedom for ourselves and others.
