Trade Review"Malcolm Stern's invaluable book Slay Your Dragons with Compassionshows how unconditional acceptance and the power of awareness can help us transcend the suffering caused by unconscious mental-emotional conditioning, and thus bring about redemption and healing." -
Eckhart Tolle“Malcolm Stern has a beautiful, harrowing story to tell here — a story of loss, suffering, resilience, and grace. His response to the dreadful pain that life dealt to him has been one of curiosity and expansion, rather than despair and a closing down of the self. What he models in SLAY YOUR DRAGONS WITH COMPASSION is a practical, yet infinitely humane, method of saving your own life from the darkness. This book is an inspiration.” -
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love“Moving and inspiring, filled with humane wisdom that is both tender and compassionately tough. Malcolm shows us how to live with authenticity and a great heart.” - Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart
“Even in his darkest moments Malcolm is willing to face his dragons head on & rather than being consumed by them, he has approached his uncomfortable journey with a deeper sense of compassion & enquiry, knowing that ultimately it was only himself that he was facing every time he ran into a so-called dragon.” -
Craig David, Musician”Tender and tough, lucid and warm, this soul-stirring story of loss and resilience is also an easy-to-read toolkit with the power to inspire, support and transform lives.” -
