After the slap -- The four steps -- Presence, purpose, and privilege -- Hold yourself kindly -- A caring hand -- Back to the present -- His master's voice -- Pause the movie -- Live and let go -- The third way -- A curious look -- Take off your goggles -- The wisdom of kindness -- Drop the anchor -- Anchor yourself -- Coming home -- Take a stand -- What's my purpose? -- Purpose and pain -- What really counts? -- The four approaches -- Holding hot coals -- It's never too late -- Find the treasure -- It's a privilege -- To stand and stare -- Pain into poetry.
Summary: "The 'reality slap' takes many different forms. Sometimes it is so violent it's more like a punch: the death of a loved one, a serious illness, a major injury, a freak accident, a shocking crime, a disabled child, the loss of a job; bankruptcy, betrayal, fire, flood, divorce or disaster. Sometimes it's a little gentler: envy, loneliness, resentment, failure, disappointment or rejection. But whatever form it takes, one thing's for sure: it hurts! And most of us don't deal with the pain very well.
