About this listen
Many of us live on autopilot, often so guarded that we don't experience the richness that life has to offer – so how can we find real happiness amid the chaos, so we don't reach the end of our life and feel like we missed it?
In Stop Missing Your Life, mindfulness teacher Cory Muscara takes us on a journey into the heart of what is required for real change, growth, and happiness. He exposes how the phrase "be present" has become little more than a platitude, imbued with the misguided message to be present just for the sake of being present, and reveals how to achieve true Presence: a quality of being that is unmistakably attractive about a person, and one that only comes when we've peeled back the layers of guarding that prevent us from being our full, honest, and integrated selves in the world.
Muscara shows how we build internal walls, what he describes as a "Pain Box" inhibiting us from living a deeply connected and meaningful life. He offers a four-part FACE model (Focus, Allow, Curiosity, and Embodiment) that helps chip away at those walls and builds our capacity to experience the richness of our lives Stop Missing Your Life ultimately teaches how we can find peace in the chaos and become better people for our families, our communities, and our world.

We are living in the age of anxiety, a situation that often makes us feel as if we are locked into an endless cycle of stress, sleeplessness, and worry. But what if we had a way to leverage our anxiety to help us solve problems and fortify our well-being? What if, instead of seeing anxiety as a curse, we could recognize it for the unique gift that it is? As a neuroscientist, Dr. Wendy Suzuki has discovered a paradigm-shifting truth about anxiety: Yes, it is uncomfortable, but it is also essential for our survival. In fact, anxiety is a key component of our ability to live optimally.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 13
Stress is our internal response to an experience that our brain perceives as threatening or challenging. Trauma is our response to an experience in which we feel powerless or lacking agency. Until now, researchers have treated these conditions as different, but they actually lie along a continuum. Dr. Elizabeth Stanley explains the significance of this continuum, how it affects our resilience in the face of challenge, and why an event that's stressful for one person can be traumatizing for another.

All the feels
Loved it all. The acronyms, the tips, the story, the thoroughness, all of it! I laughed, cried, felt more connected to myself / my life and learned so much more about myself as well. This book and Cory's meditations have helped me immensely on my journey the last 2 years. At the young age of 50 now, I'm starting to find pieces of myself I thought I lost, invent / create in new ways. Thank you so much!

Radical and Empowering for those looking to be more present
Thank you so much Cory for sharing both your experiences and knowledge with us. As someone who is currently navigating meditation and what pieces click in my practices, I found a lot of your tools and states of mind very useful.
This book has immensely helped me take a deeper look into my psychology and has given me some new tools and perspective on how to stay grounded and work through emotions.
Wishing the best to all my fellow friends out there seeking peacefulness, love and connection.
