Praise for Caverly’s Work and The Heart of Who We Are

“Awareness is contagious, and Caverly skillfully encourages readers to harness our awareness to find the peace and contentedness that already exist within. The energy that follows brings healing to our lives, as well helps us work to improve the lives of others.”

— Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Change

“We live in a world and times in which we are increasingly confronted by division, uncertainty, and a falling away of things we once took as unshakable. With The Heart of Who We Are, Caverly Morgan extends a hand of kindness that coaxes readers to embrace the necessary journey of rediscovering themselves, and the compassion of walking alongside them. She generously offers her hard-earned wisdom — as a monk, a teacher, and a willing student of life — as a practical manual to turn fear into curiosity, confusion into awareness, and separation into love. You will return to this book, over and over again.”

— Rev. angel Kyodo williams, Rōshi Co-author, Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love and Liberation

“This book is a masterpiece. It offers the reader a deep understanding of non-duality in an accessible and tangible way, illustrates how to apply this this understanding to social justice and cultural change, and offers a path toward realizing freedom together though love, compassion and awareness. One of the most personally impactful books I’ve read in a long time.”

— Kristin Neff, PhD, Author of Self-Compassion and Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim their Power and Thrive

“Transcendence and transformation. In The Heart of Who We Are, Caverly deftly holds two seemingly opposing truths – our shared being of oneness whose nature is peace, and our shared world of apparent separation and its suffering – and invites us to explore how our true nature might find its fullest expression in both ourselves and the collective. This beautiful and courageous book not only provides a way for us to explore who we are and how we are in the world but stands as a shining example of what it means to do both.”

— Rupert Spira, author of You Are the Happiness You Seek: Uncovering the Awareness of Being

“Caverly Morgan’s writing is immediately intimate, fresh, and friendly - and it goes straight to your heart. She combines spiritual depth with enormous practical wisdom. I loved reading her personal stories, mind-stopping enlightenment zaps, effective suggestions, brief psychological exercises, and gentle humorous encouraging guidance. She is a true friend to the reader, a deeply realized being who is utterly committed to your healing and awakening. A gem! ”

— Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Neurodharma: New Science, Ancient Wisdom, and Seven Practices of the Highest Happiness

“Collective liberation is first grounded in collective healing. Collective healing starts with the labor of individuals willing to begin healing for themselves. That will open into collective healing. Our future must be a future that centers the work of healing to get free. In The Heart of Who We Are, Caverly Morgan offers us a vision of how to do this imperative work through the profound lens of Buddhist dharma, which she has deeply embodied through her many years of practice and study. This book is a part of the canon of work we must rely on to bring about a more liberated future.”

— Lama Rod Owens, author of Love and Rage: The Path of Liberation Through Anger

“Inspiring and immersive, The Heart of Who We Are invites us to access a way of being whole that dissolves the illusion of the separate, solo-self, so often taught in our modern culture, and instead come to release what rests beneath that veil—an open awareness from which love, experience and consciousness arise. Within the practices and stories of this marvelous book are lessons guiding us in how to live more fully and freely, releasing the life force of love that is the essence and energy of the liberation within these transformative pages.”

— Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. New York Times bestselling author IntraConnected: MWe (Me plus We) as the integration of self, identity and belonging. Executive Director Mindsight Institute
