Shambhala Sun Audio: An interview with “How To Be Sick” author Toni Bernhard
Rod Meade Sperry
Shambhala SunSpace readers recently had the pleasure of meeting Toni Bernhard via a guest post called “Why would a law professor write a Buddhist book on chronic illness?” Toni’s expertise, of course, isn’t merely scholarly: she actually has a chronic illness, and her new book, How To Be Sick, offers her hard-won lessons on living with that illness, many of which are informed by her Buddhist practice.
In this exclusive Shambhala Sun Audio interview, Toni speaks about how she’s come to find joy despite the pain and limitations caused by her sickness. She also offers a practice that she uses “every day, in every way” — and that she considers “the greatest antidote to clinging.”
