Karen Kissel Wigela is a super-cool professor of contemplative psychology at my graduate alma mater Naropa University. She’s also the author of the wonderful books How to Be a Help Instead of a Nuisance: Practical Approaches to Giving Support, Service, and Encouragement to Others and The Courage to Be Present: Buddhism, Psychotherapy, and the Awakening of Natural Wisdom. She also has a new blog at Psychology Today, also called The Courage to Be Present, that you should check out immediately if not sooner.
