Personal Growth in the Time of COVID by Michael Lisagor contains numerous uplifting and entertaining life lessons, from 34 well-known artists, writers, philosophers and musicians, that can help us do more than just survive these challenging times. Lisagor also interweaves with humor his own lifelong journey to manage anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma through Buddhism, psychotherapy, and marriage. Mike is the author of “Romancing the Buddha,” a successful book and one-man show and My 50 Years of Buddhist Practice. Linda Semlitz, MD, President of the Board, Arts & Humanities Bainbridge, has said, “As a practicing psychiatrist for over 35 years, I can attest to the importance of positive coping strategies in challenging times. Many of us have experienced considerable distress during the COVID pandemic along with anxiety, low mood, and insomnia. How do we steady and calm the mind when the source of stress seems never-ending and uncertainty surrounds us?“ Neuropsychiatrist Daniel J Siegel, MD coined the term ‘mindsight,’ the ability to see the internal workings of our own minds and to ‘name and tame’ the emotions we are experiencing rather than being overwhelmed by them. Our ability to know our own minds, especially when combined with empathy, is an essential human skill that allows us to flourish. Mike has extraordinary “mindsight” and is a wonderful storyteller. He has chosen artists who are explorers, healers, activists, and visionaries who describe the transformative power of the creative process.” CHAPTERS: Helen Keller, Bill Withers, Annie Leibovitz, Lily Tomlin, Ansel Adams, Sir Isaac Newton, Keb’ Mo’, Leo Tolstoy, Georgia O’Keefe, Harry Manx, Most Beautiful One, Leonardo da Vinci, Gilda Radner, Davy Jone, Eliud Kipchoge, Louise Penny, Prince Henry, Julie Andrews, Mohatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Daisaku Ikeda, Isaac Asimov, Grandma Moses, Herbie Hancock, Barbara Kingsolver, Henrik Ibsen, Pema Chadron, Bobby McFerrin, Voltaire, Never Disparaging, Tagore & Byron Katie. The author is currently donating all royalties the Charter for Compassion.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Once upon a time, Mike Lisagor was IT industry executive. Then, in 1999, he relinquished his suit and tie to start a consulting company, Celerity Works (http://www.celerityworks.com). Pretty much retired now (from work), he is on the advisory board of an IT company and one of the co-founders of GovFlex.com. But, he spends most of his time taking nature hikes with his bride, writing articles and books plus playing jazz and blues piano.

Mike is the author of Romancing the Buddha (3rd edition updated Nov. 2021) which he adapted into a successful one-man show which can be watched on YouTube.com (https://youtu.be/zcjxVFktYjo). His latest books are How to Win in the Government Market (with Mark Amtower - Feb. 2022), My 50 Years of Buddhist Practice (Nov. 2022), Personal Growth in the Time of COVID (Feb. 2021) and The Essential Guide to Managing a Government Project (March 2021).

BALM FOR DIFFICULT TIMES

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

During this prolonged period of isolation, I've read a number of eye-opening books...."The Sixth Extinction", "Caste", and Baldwin's magnificent "The Fire Next Time". Perhaps not the best choices for a restless night. Lately I've reached for a different kind of lesson in Michael Lisagor's "Personal Growth in the Time of Covid". The Buddhist infused wisdom of Daisaku Ikeda figures prominently, interspersed with very brief chapters containing highlights of the lives and thinking of 30 artists, writers, scientists, musicians, and historical giants--from Annie Leibovitz to Lily Tomlin, Georgia O'Keefe, Martin Luther King, Sir Isaac Newton, Bill Withers, Herbie Hancock, Tolstoy and more. There is wisdom to live by in this collection of stories and inspiring quotes, and commentary from the author on his own personal struggles. Lisagor's new book is a powerful antidote to the disturbing realities of our current world. I woke up after one of these late night reads, on the tail end of a dream. I was standing tall in a landscape setting, wearing a white T-shirt with big bold letters on it that spelled out "PEACE LAKE".
