The Practical Path to Peace: Janet Ettele’s Journey Through Buddhism and Art
"When we seek to benefit others, we’re at our best and happiest."— Janet Ettele
Meet Janet Ettele, author of How Joyous Effort Works. In this episode, Janet shares how her deep appreciation for music evolved into a passion for Buddhist philosophy, leading her to create a series of books that blend timeless teachings with modern practicality. With a focus on compassion, mindfulness, and balance, Janet’s story is an inspiring example of living authentically and embracing life’s impermanence.
Key Takeaways:
Creative Foundations: Janet’s musical beginnings, including studying composition at Berklee, set the stage for her writing.
A Serendipitous Path: A chance connection with a student led her to discover Buddhist teachings and begin writing.
Blending Arts and Philosophy: Janet likens writing to music composition, both requiring rhythm, dynamics, and resolution.
Living the Teachings: Her books distill Buddhist principles into practical lessons for daily life.
The Power of Impermanence: Janet emphasizes embracing change as a universal truth.
Serving Others: True joy arises when focusing on others' well-being over self-absorption.
Wisdom in Practice: Meditation, reflection, and action are essential steps to integrating mindfulness into life.
