“The Heart of Who We Are” is a luminous and multifaceted gem of a book, beautifully written and grounded in wisdom from Caverly Morgan’s own lived experience as a dharma practitioner and teacher. This treasure store offers us one of the clearest, heartfelt, and most compelling conversations that I’ve come across on why it is essential for each of us to wholeheartedly endeavor toward mutual and collective liberation. With a voice that is equal measures warm and accessible, poetic and profound, Caverly skillfully guides us in applying Zen teachings and nondual practices to a number of karmically conditioned complexes that hinder our recognition of our fundamental awake nature and the intimacy of our shared being. “The Heart of Who We Are” serves as a wise, encouraging friend and a tremendous resource for anyone yearning to realize ─ and actualize ─ true freedom and happiness in the personal, interpersonal, and collective dimensions of their lives. I hope that many will have the opportunity to encounter this truly transformative gift!”
