Product Details
Overview
Enlightenment begins where reactivity ends.
In an era defined by outrage, anxiety, and constant stimulation, The Second Arrow names the hidden habit making modern life harder than it has to be: our reflex to react.
Popular spiritual teacher Rev. Matt Laney takes an ancient teaching of Buddhist psychology and turns it into a sharp, practical framework for navigating a culture built to trigger us. The Second Arrow serves as a field guide for interrupting the split-second reactions that escalate conflict, fuel stress, and quietly erode our relationships, work, and inner lives.
Drawing on both Buddhist and Biblical wisdom that he has studied and practiced for decades, Rev. Laney delivers a fresh, piercing, cross-tradition approach that is accessible to anyone. Through vivid real-world scenarios, personal stories, and hands-on exercises, he shows readers that releasing reactivity and growing into its opposite, Response-ability, is not just a personal improvement project. It is a psychological, relational, social imperative. Our well-being depends on it. Our shared future does too.
Timely, actionable, and highly relatable, The Second Arrow offers a powerful skill for shifting our increasingly reactive world.
