Summary

A bold new work by Sogyal, one of the most influential spiritual writers of our time.

It speaks directly to the inner struggles of today's young people, offering both practical value and guidance.

No one's journey through life is always smooth sailing, and there is no need to take every gain and loss, every honor and disgrace too much to heart. When you are respected by others and enjoy both fame and fortune, there is no need to feel arrogant, because all of this will pass one day; and when you are down and out, at the end of your rope, there is no need to despair, because this too will pass.

To remain unmoved by favor or disgrace, to smile at success and failure—this is a state of being in life. May this new book by Sogyal bring you inner peace and the strength to keep moving forward.

Editor's review

Centered on the core idea that "all gains and losses, honor and disgrace will pass," this book reexamines, along a single timeline, the arrogance that success easily breeds and the despair that adversity easily sinks people into. Its value lies not in offering quick psychological fixes but in helping readers build a steadier perspective on life's ups and downs: not to be complacent when respected and rewarded with fame and fortune, nor to despair when poor, broke, and at the end of one's rope. The language is plain and close to the anxiety and inner friction familiar to today's young people; it suits reading during emotional swings, changes in circumstance, or periods of confusion. There is no need to finish it in one sitting—treat the passages on staying unruffled by favor or disgrace and smiling at success or failure as reminders for daily self-reflection, flipping through a few pages on the commute, before bed, or when a specific trouble arises, letting the ideas settle gradually into composure amid gain and loss and the strength to keep moving forward.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Young readers prone to emotional swings over gains, losses, and how others judge them
  • People in a career or life low point who need psychological support
  • Readers interested in spiritual growth and emotional regulation
  • Those who wish to stay clear-headed in good times and patient in hard ones

Not a good fit for

  • Readers expecting systematic psychological theory or clinical treatment plans
  • Those seeking concrete step-by-step procedures and quantitative methods
  • Readers who prefer rigorous academic argument and empirical research

Reading tips

  1. Read one short section a day, pause for a few minutes afterward, and do a brief self-reflection on the specific gains and losses you met that day.
  2. On days of noticeable emotional turbulence, prioritize the passages that contrast good times with adversity.
  3. Keep a notebook to record lines that move you and the life situations they correspond to, and review it regularly.
  4. Don't force yourself to finish it in one go; keep it within easy reach as long-term companion reading.

FAQ

Is this book suitable for readers who have never encountered spiritual growth books before?
Yes. The book revolves around the everyday experience that gains, losses, honor, and disgrace all pass; the language is plain, it relies on no jargon, and it has no complicated theoretical threshold. First-time readers of this kind of book can start from whatever troubles them most right now, read the relevant passages first, and then gradually expand to the whole book.
Can the ideas in the book directly solve specific real-life difficulties?
The book offers a perspective on ups and downs and a direction for adjusting one's mindset, not operational solutions to specific problems. It is better suited to helping readers steady their emotions in hardship and stay clear-headed in good times; solving real problems still requires taking action according to one's own circumstances.
When I'm feeling low, will reading this book make my mood worse?
Generally not. The book's approach to situations such as poverty and being at the end of one's rope is to acknowledge and soothe, emphasizing that these too will pass rather than denying negative emotions. If emotional distress persists and is severe, professional psychological support is still recommended, with reading as a supplement.

About the author

索达吉 Author

Suodaji is a Chinese-language book author about whom limited public information is available; details such as nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded. Two of the author's works are currently included in the collection, with representative titles including Everything Will Pass and Your Vulnerability Is Normal. Judging from the titles and the common category, these works generally fall within applied psychology, addressing themes such as emotional regulation, psychological resilience, and self-acceptance. They are written for general readers in plain language and focus on responding to people's confusion under stress and low moods through everyday experience. Both titles carry a tone of reassurance and acceptance, suggesting a gentle, companion-like approach to psychological self-help rather than academic argument. Because little personal information about the author has been disclosed, readers' understanding comes mainly from the works themselves, and their style and choice of topics shape the basic impression of the author.
