About this ebook
Discover the transformative spiritual practice of parenting and find solace amidst the daily challenges.
In Nurture the Wow, Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg offers a fresh perspective on the demands of parenting, inviting readers to approach it as a spiritual practice. Bombarded by relentless pressures from work and life, parents often struggle to meet their children's needs while neglecting their own inner longings. Ruttenberg argues that by shifting our mindset, we can find purpose and meaning in the very work of parenting itself.
Rooted in Judaism but incorporating a wide range of religious and literary traditions, this book explores how ancient ideas about relationships, drudgery, pain, devotion, and purpose can ease the hard parts of a parent's job and enhance the magical moments. Through insights both enlightening and laugh-out-loud funny, Ruttenberg reveals how the experiences of parenthood can lead to living fully, authentically, and soulfully.
More than just another parenting guide, Nurture the Wow is a parenthood book that shows how the crazy-making, rage-inducing, awe and joy-filled moments can be a path to transformation. Perfect for new parents and anyone seeking mindfulness in their parenting journey, this book offers insightful meditations on raising children with wisdom from ancient traditions.
