About this listen
Start Where You Are is an indispensable audiobook for cultivating fearlessness and awakening a compassionate heart. With insight and humor, Pema Chödrön offers guidance on how we can accept our flaws and embrace ourselves wholeheartedly as a prerequisite for developing compassion. Chödrön frames her teachings around fifty-nine traditional Tibetan Buddhist slogans (called lojong in Tibetan), such as: “Always apply only a joyful state of mind” and “Don’t seek others’ pain as the limbs of your own happiness.” Through working with these slogans, we can begin to develop the courage to face our inner pain and thereby discover a wealth of freedom, well-being, and confidence.

Honest, clear and funny explanation of Lojong teachings and a more free way to live
Pema Chödron has the gift to clearly explain old teachings and texts. She makes it not only understandable, but immensely light hearted, honest and funny. Wholeheartedly recommended. The narration is also very pleasant and very well done!

I read this book on repeat
for me, lots of gems and precious nuggets are contained within. so much so that after the first listen through. I now listen at random and repeat when I can.
I love the message and the guidance shared within.

Better buy paperback
I haven't finished this book yet, but I feel like I would enjoy it more if I were physically reading it rather than listening to it so I could go back and forth more easily. I do, however, really like listening to it, it's quite relaxing, but then I don't concentrate on what's being said!

Feels conceited
Personally I feel this comes across as arrogant and unnecessarily lyrical. I don't like the mildly superior tone and wandering verbiage.
