The cofounder of the Zen Hospice Project and pioneer behind the compassionate care movement shares an inspiring exploration of the lessons dying has to offer about living a fulfilling life.

Death is not waiting for us at the end of a long road. Death is always with us, in the marrow of every passing moment. She is the secret teacher hiding in plain sight, helping us to discover what matters most.

Life and death are a package deal. They cannot be pulled apart and we cannot truly live unless we are aware of death. The Five Invitations is an exhilarating meditation on the meaning of life and how maintaining an ever-present consciousness of death can bring us closer to our truest selves. As a renowned teacher of compassionate caregiving and the cofounder of the Zen Hospice Project, Frank Ostaseski has sat on the precipice of death with more than a thousand people. In The Five Invitations, he distills the lessons gleaned over the course of his career, offering an evocative and stirring guide that points to a radical path to transformation.

The Five Invitations:
-Don't Wait
-Welcome Everything, Push Away Nothing
-Bring Your Whole Self to the Experience
-Find a Place of Rest in the Middle of Things
-Cultivate Don't Know Mind

These Five Invitations show us how to wake up fully to our lives. They can be understood as best practices for anyone coping with loss or navigating any sort of transition or crisis; they guide us toward appreciating life's preciousness. Awareness of death can be a valuable companion on the road to living well, forging a rich and meaningful life, and letting go of regret. The Five Invitations is a powerful and inspiring exploration of the essential wisdom dying has to impart to all of us.

Sexy jacket!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Blue
I want to first say that the jacket looks exactly as pictured the color is very spot on it's not too washed out and not too blue. I bought it for my male partner, It really gives him the rugged look without making him look intimidating or too much like an emo boy. I'm thinking hipster style. Secondly, you have to size up if you are intending to wear this jacket on top of a sweatshirt or anything thicker than a t-shirt. I'm so glad that I read reviews before purchasing this because if I had bought his size it would have fit him but he would not have been able to wear a sweater or sweatshirt under it. My partner is tall and about an XL in sizing. The jacket stops just at his waist and accentuates how tall he is. Sleeve length is perfect. I will also say that it's not super thick, it's a great fall jacket just good enough to stay warm in brisk weather. This is more of a fashion piece than it is a coat. Something that no one mentioned is there are two large pockets on the inside of the jacket that my boyfriend loves because he can now hide snacks in them. This jacket honestly gives me New York Street fashion vibes and I love it so much I plan on stealing it from him time to time.

Amazing quality!
Size: Medium, Color: Pinkish, Size: Medium, Color: Pinkish
Fabric super durable, genuine denim. Fit was a bit tight for the size but still looked perfect and easy to style/accessorize. Don't even like pink and it's a new favorite fit!

Order regular size. 6' tall, get a medium.
Size: Medium, Color: A3#white
It's a pretty good jean jacket. Sizing is the main issue, suggestions for what size to order very from ordering your normal size to order 2 sizes larger. I'm 6' tall and skinny, got a medium which is my regular size, this thing fits me just like the model, coming to my waistband with enough room to fit a hoodie underneath. Not sure why the seller is telling people to order 2 sizes up, since jean jackets are supposed to be a little bit short and thin compared to other jackets. One slight issue is the size of the button holes. 3 of mine were too small to fit the buttons through. Easy fix with a knife though. Material quality is good, it wasn't easy to cut. I dyed mine yellow and it took the dye quite well, if you're considering doing that with yours.
