I am Sarah Jane Case and this is Anya Graham and Coffee.

Hello friends, I cannot wait to introduce you to today's podcast guest,

but first I need to let you know that we are officially in pre-order season for my new book,

The Anya Graham Letters. This is a book that I am so excited to finally get into your hands.

It's poems and personal essays exploring the part in each of us that carries the pressure

of each of the nine Anya Graham types. Pre-orders are one of the most important parts of

launching a new book. It tells bookstores to order it and helps me to get an exciting

book list that will get the book into more hands. It also comes with some really cool perks for you.

We've designed a workbook with deep and thorough journaling prompts to help you process what

you're reading, which is yours for free when you pre-order and anyone who pre-orders receives

myself typing workshop 100% for free. So if you are considering purchasing the Anya Graham

Letters, please consider pre-ordering through a local bookstore or online wherever books are sold.

It really does help me out significantly. All right, let's meet today's guest.

Today we are speaking with Susan Piver, the New York Times bestselling author of many books,

including the award-winning How Not to Be Afraid of Your Own Life,

the wisdom of a broken heart, start here now and open-hearted guide to the path and practice

of meditation, and the four noble truths of love, Buddhist Wisdom for Modern Relationships.

Piver has been a practicing Buddhist since 1993 and graduated from a Buddhist seminary in 2004.

She's an internationally acclaimed meditation teacher known for her ability to translate ancient

practices into modern life. Her work has been featured on the Oprah Show, today CNN and in the New

York Times, Wall Street Journal, as well as others. In 2013, she launched the Open Heart Project,
