Audio Book Summary

We always have a choice, Pema Chödrön teaches: We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us and make us increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and make us kinder. Here Pema provides the tools to deal with the problems and difficulties that life throws our way. This wisdom is always available to us, she teaches, but we usually block it with habitual patterns rooted in fear. Beyond that fear lies a state of openheartedness and tenderness. This audiobook teaches us how to awaken our basic goodness and connect with others, to accept ourselves and others complete with faults and imperfections, and to stay in the present moment by seeing through the strategies of ego that cause us to resist life as it is.

    Wonderful book and great narrator, thank you. I find this book an excellent presentation of Tibetan Buddhism philosophy and essential practices. Clear and practical for daily life and formal practice.

    Another wonderful Pema Chodron book containing great wisdom and Joanna did a wonderful job of reading it for us. It's the first of Pema's books I have listened to that she didn't narrate herself and I didn't think anyone else would be able to do them justice but Joanna did, thank you. I have now downloaded The Wisdom of No Escape, also read by Joanna.
