Die fünf Einladungen

Through the finitude of life, discovering the wonder in the momentFrank Ostaseski is the foremost exponent of hospice and end-of-life care in the United States. His groundbreaking achievement is to have anchored the principles of mindfulness and compassion in hospice care. From his decades of experience as a companion to the seriously ill and dying, he developed five guiding principles - "the five invitations" - which to this day also form the basis of his courses and training. In this guidebook, he shows us how we can use them to live more consciously and increase our own quality of life. If we align ourselves with these five principles, we will find an enriching way of dealing with death and navigate more relaxed through any kind of transition or crisis. The "five invitations" are:Don't wait.Welcome everything, reject nothing.Give yourself fully into the experience.Find a place of calm in the midst of chaos.Cultivate the spirit of not knowing.Frank Ostaseski has been at the deathbed of more than a thousand people. In "Five Invitations," he distills his experiences into an impressive path of transformation.
