A very special free gift: a free chapter of my new book spirited: out on audible.com/spirited drops April 27th 2023. A spiritual wellness guide, Spirited shows you how to find more fulfillment and peace in modern life by applying timeless Buddhist wisdom.Beneath Candice Kumai’s polished image as a wellness icon, she was tormented by anxiety, competitiveness and deep inner suffering. It wasn’t until she re-embraced the Buddhist principles she’d been taught in childhood that she began to change her life for the better—even making a pilgrimage to her mother’s home country of Japan to study in the mountains with Buddhist monks. Full of wisdom and raw honesty, Spirited recounts her journey and shares the Buddhist practices that transformed her life so you can, too."Candice Kumai is the wellness & spiritual teacher for the next generation, a PIONEER of her time." (Dr Andrew Weil, founder/director of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine) Get full access to Candice’s Substack at candicekumai.substack.com/subscribe
