Storms Can't Hurt The Sky: A Buddhist Path Through Divorce is Gabriel Cohen's excellent memoir-come-self-help book chronicling his journey to the other side of anger after his wife walked out one day and never came back. This is possibly the male answer to Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love. Did anyone stop and think about the husband she left behind? Well if he was anything like Cohen, he may have stayed in New York and attended a talk about anger given by a Buddhist teacher and then gone on his own spiritual path. Like Eat, Pray, Love you don't have to have had the experience yourself to relate and get inspired. This book has taught me much and I've never been anywhere near a divorce. Read it, even if you do get quizzical looks on the subway.
Cohen will read from Storms Can't Hurt The Sky at Sunny's Waterfront Bar in Red Hook on April 6. He is the man behind the Sundays at Sunny's reading series, so it should be a good one. Get there early for the free Italian pastries.
