Critics Review

“An indispensable guide to discovering how the Five Wisdoms vividly inspire our lives, and Irini Rockwell has done a fantastic job translating these profound Buddhist teachings into practical applications for everyday life. With useful exercises, keen insight, and down to earth stories, Natural Brilliance points us to our innate authenticity where we can learn to wake up to life’s colorful display, dance with our ever-changing circumstances, and open to the richness of being human. If you want to express your natural brilliance and bring the profound teachings of the Five Wisdoms alive in your life, read this book.”—Michael Carroll, author of Awake at Work and The Mindful Leader “This book is equal parts wisdom and pragmatism. Relying on her decades of experience as a Buddhist practitioner and teacher of the Five Wisdom Energies, Rockwell explains how to find your unique brilliance and then apply it at work, in your relationships, and to your spiritual path.”—Susan Piver, author of The Wisdom of a Broken Heart and How Not to Be Afraid of Your Own Life “Rockwell underscores her lessons with remarkably concrete suggestions and lists. This work nicely bridges the gap between understanding and practice for contemporary Buddhist believers; excellent for the busy practitioner.”—Library Journal “Offers a simple yet profound Buddhist typology system than can enhance self-awareness, improve relationship dynamics, and boost effectiveness.”—Publishers Weekly
