Joan Halifax is a clearheaded and fearless traveler and in this book...she offers us a map of how to travel courageously and fruitfully, for our own benefit and the benefit of all beings. --From the foreword by Rebecca Solnit

Standing at the Edge is an evocative examination of how we can respond to suffering, live our fullest lives, and remain open to the full spectrum of our human experience.

Joan Halifax has enriched thousands of lives around the world through her work as a humanitarian, a social activist, an anthropologist, and as a Buddhist teacher. Over many decades, she has also collaborated with neuroscientists, clinicians, and psychologists to understand how contemplative practice can be a vehicle for social transformation. Through her unusual background, she developed an understanding of how our greatest challenges can become the most valuable source of our wisdom--and how we can transform our experience of suffering into the power of compassion for the benefit of others.

Halifax has identified five psychological territories she calls Edge States--altruism, empathy, integrity, respect, and engagement--that epitomize strength of character. Yet each of these states can also be the cause of personal and social suffering. In this way, these five psychological experiences form edges, and it is only when we stand at these edges that we become open to the full range of our human experience and discover who we really are.

Recounting the experiences of caregivers, activists, humanitarians, politicians, parents, and teachers, incorporating the wisdom of Zen traditions and mindfulness practices, and rooted in Halifax's groundbreaking research on compassion, Standing at the Edge is destined to become a contemporary classic. A powerful guide on how to find the freedom we seek for others and ourselves, it is a book that will serve us all.

Bristles are soft and dense but a little too long for cats but still the best so far.
Very good brushes with dense but soft bristles. The pros are the excellent bristles as they are abrasive enough to actually clean my kitty's teeth. I have to work really fast to clean her teeth. These bristles make the cleaning a bit more efficient compared to the silicone bristles that I have used prior to this. The cons of these brushes is that the length of the bristles are too long. These are better suited for dogs, but for cats, their mouth is a lot smaller. There isn't a lot of space to insert this brush between the inside of my kitty's cheeks and the side teeth. I wish the bristles were shorter. There is no way for me to trim them shorter because then the bristles will no longer be soft. Having said that, these pair of brushes are still the bets so far that I have used. The bristles really makes all the difference.

Works well with cats.
The bristles are nice and soft, so it makes it easier to brush my cat's teeth. It did take a little while for my kitty to get use to the brush, but the more I brushed my cat's teeth, the more he got use to it. This is a great set of toothbrushes that will help keep your pet's teeth and gums healthy.

Really soft bristles, good for small dogs
My dogs are not the most cooperative when it comes to brushing their teeth. These toothbrushes are very soft which is nice. My dogs licked the toothpaste off and declined to let me brush their teeth but this is not a reflection of the product. Because the toothbrushes are small, these are best for small dogs. They come with clear storage cases which is nice. Just let the tootbrush air dry and store. The top has a pull lid to help remove it.

Soft bristles & comfortable grip
Great pet toothbrushes! So glad I ordered these. The bristles are super fine and gentle on the gums. They are dense so they actually can brush the teeth and gums without pressure or scratching. The 2 toothbrushes (one pink and one blue) come with handy storage cases. The third brush is yellow for between teeth cleaning. Also supersoft. I especially like that the toothbrushes are on a narrow base that fits easily in my small dogs’ (5lbs & 18lbs) mouths. The handle is also comfortable to grip for easy control and safety.
