Do you ever ask yourself, “What can I do in the face of these deep, pervasive social, cultural, and spiritual dilemmas that our species has faced and will continue to face in the decades and centuries to come?”

Stephen Cope’s latest work The Dharma in Difficult Times dives deep into this question. He weaves ancient wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita together with an exploration of the lives of eight different people over the course of the past ~240 years. People who – in the face of colonialism, enslavement, subjugation, oppression, and racism – found a way to listen to their own inner wisdom and take action that rippled throughout their communities and through the world.
