“Ready posits that making important decisions is not about drawing
up lists of pros and cons, consulting experts, or honing your
willpower. Rather, it is about knowing yourself deeply, inhabiting
each moment fully, and then letting the world speak to you in its
infinite wisdom (which is not separate from your own). If you’re
looking for a way to make decisions you can trust, this book is for
you.”—Susan Piver, author of The Four Noble Truths of Love
“Ready is a superbly succinct guide through the entanglements of
fear, doubt, regret, and grief to a deepening trust of our
decisions about our commitments and the skills needed to time them
exquisitely. The journey through the practices is to be expertly
companioned by a wise elder and a caring friend.”—Linda Graham,
MFT, author of Resilience
“Ready is the antidote to one of the most common crossroads we all
experience as human beings—knowing when it is truly time to stay or
go. Let this insightful guide support you in learning the language
of readiness and cuing the courage required to make the big changes
you seek.”—Amanda Gilbert, author of Kindness Now
“Based on decades guiding patients, as well as on his own struggles
with these sometimes-mystifying patterns and questions, Richo
breaks down how we can find the language for our hunch that
something needs to change, and then—guided by writing, reflection,
and meditative exercises—honor where we’ve been and decide with
clarity and visceral confidence how to move forward.”—Lion’s
Roar
“Ready is an invaluable modern-day guide for the
perplexed.”—Foreword Reviews, Starred Review
