(epub) Walking the Red Road Home: Returning to Life on Life's Terms Through Native Wisdom

Walking the Red Road Home is a follow-up book to Accepting Life on Life’s Terms, yet also serves as a stand-alone work!

What if the wisdom you have been searching for in meditation apps, therapy offices, and self-help shelves was already written in the land — and was here long before any of it?

In this powerful sequel to Accepting Life on Life’s Terms, Kowi Chito Hopaii (Chris L McClish), a descendant of the House of Wildcats clan (Chickasaw/Choctaw), with lineage traced through the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations — strips away the Western scaffolding of acceptance and mindfulness and rebuilds principles of living through tough circumstances through the language of the drum, the medicine wheel, the council fire, the vision quest, and the puma in the dark.

Grounded in Choctaw ancestral wisdom (along with some Taoist philosophy, and Stoic practice), this book offers a non-religious spiritual framework any reader can walk. Each chapter ends with concrete practices. The book closes with reflection exercises that turn reading into walking.

This book presents a new way to get through tough circumstances that life throws at you!
