From much-admired meditation expert Sebene Selassie, You Belong is a call to action, exploring our tangled relationship with belonging, connection, and each other

You are not separate. You never were. You never will be.

We are not separate from each other. But we don’t always believe it, and we certainly don’t always practice it. In fact, we often practice the opposite—disconnection and domination. From unconscious bias to “cancel culture,” denial of our inherent interconnection limits our own freedom.

In You Belong, much-admired meditation expert Sebene Selassie reveals that accepting our belonging is the key to facing the many challenges currently impacting our world. Using ancient philosophy, multidisciplinary research, exquisite storytelling, and razor-sharp wit, Selassie leads us in an exploration of all the ways we separate (and thus suffer) and offers a map back to belonging.

To belong is to experience joy in any moment: to feel pleasure, dance in public, accept death, forgive what seems unforgivable, and extend kindness to yourself and others. To belong is also to acknowledge injustice, reckon with history, and face our own shadows. Full of practical advice and profound revelations, You Belong makes a winning case for resisting the forces that demand separation and reclaiming the connection—and belonging—that have been ours all along.

WOW

I am mesmerized by this book and author. I’m embarrassed that all I can say is wow, Because she speaks so eloquently. I resonate with her oneness with all our relations and forgive me if I’m wrong but the philosophy of we are no greater than or less than each other, we are one with all our relations. I follow A Corse In Miracles, but have listened and looked into many different authors, spiritual practices, and religions. I am so grateful for her knowledge and wisdom that she shares with us about many different indigenous beliefs, history, and correlations. I am only three hours into this incredible audiobook. I believe I may also purchase a hardcopy because it is so valuable and in-depth. WOW and as Wayne Dyer says. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

Outstanding - BE.

This is a deep life refreshing guide to knowing how we all belong; you belong. Stand tall, everything is connected.

I loved every minute!

I longed to belong and now I do! I can’t thank you enough Sebene. I conspire to help others realize that they too already belong. You have made the most compassionate and believable case for embodiment and mindfulness and woven the threads of life together so beautifully. I was deeply moved throughout and wept at the last sentence. Brilliant!
