Synopsis
Every one of us sooner or later walks through hell. The hell of being hurt. The hell of hurting another. The hell of cancer, the hell of divorce, the hell of chronic pain. The hell of anxiety, depression, Alzheimer's, a kid in trouble. The hell of a reluctant, thunking shovelful of earth upon the casket of someone we deeply loved. The point is
not to come out of hell empty-handed. There is real and profound power in the pain we endure if we transform our suffering into a more authentic, meaningful life.
As the Senior Rabbi of Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles, one of America's largest and most important congregations, Steve Leder witnesses a lot of pain: "It's my phone that rings when people's bodies or lives fall apart." In this deeply inspiring book, written in the spirit of such classics as When Bad Things Happen to Good
People, Leder guides us through pain's stages of surviving, healing, and finally growing. Drawing on his experience as a spiritual leader, the wisdom of ancient traditions, modern science, and stories from his own life and others', he shows us that when we must endure, we can, and that there is a path for each of us that leads from pain to
wisdom. This powerful book can inspire in us all a life worthy of our suffering; a life gentler, wiser, and more beautiful than before. New & Used

What Reviewers Are Saying
"The lessons Leder teaches are: acknowledge what is occurring, confront it honestly and own it, and then move on. Survive, heal, grow. And if you can do that, Leder says, you will emerge from the experience transformed. Not necessarily happier, wiser, or wealthier, but certainly more at peace. That is the gift More Beautiful Than Before offers us."
- Forbes

This is such a beautiful book! It is the voice of experience, from a wounded healer who is both realistic and hopeful. I love Steve Leder, I love his congregation, and I loved reading this book!
