“Enlightenment does exist,” internationally renowned author and meditation master Jack Kornfield assures us. “Unbounded freedom and joy, oneness with the divine . . . these experiences are more common than you know, and not far away.” But even after achieving such realization—after the ecstasy—we are faced with the day—to-day task of translating that freedom into our imperfect lives. We are faced with the laundry. Drawing on the experiences and insights of leaders and practitioners within the Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, and Sufi traditions, this book offers a uniquely intimate and honest understanding of how the modern spiritual journey unfolds—and how we can prepare our hearts for awakening. Through moving personal stories and traditional tales, we learn how the enlightened heart navigates the real world of family relationships, emotional pain, earning a living, sickness, loss, and death. Filled with “the laughter of the wise,” alive with compassion, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry is a gift to anyone who is seeking peace, wholeness, and inner happiness. It is sure to take its place next to A Path with Heart as a spiritual classic for our time.

Diary of a Sorority House Mom recount's Ann Caruso's first two years as house director for a female version of "Animal House," where the women of the house set and enforced their own rules. When the girls asked if they could recycle liquor bottles during their first meeting, she knew she was in trouble. Though the house director contract and manual mandated that Ms Caruso was responsible for the safety of the girls, she had no authority to carry out that task. There was no tab on the manual for "what happens if a drunk girl falls out of the third floor window, gets raped, or dies of alcohol poisoning." It was common to find kegs icing in the bathtub, bottles of alcohol used as room decorations, and when she asked the risk-management vice president if she wanted to know when a guy spent the night, her response was, "Why? Has someone complained." Diary of a Sorority House Mom will make you laugh out loud, and bring you to tears. It is sometimes hysterical, and at others disturbing or disguesting, but it was her life for two years. Her first sorority girls gave her eighteen of the happiest and six of the saddest months of her life. And for the most part, she wouldn't have changed a thing.
