About this listen
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.

All the truth any of us ever need.
There are many spiritual books out there about which it can be said 'Really, you need not read any more than this and you will have everything you need to awaken, but practice.' This is one of them.

Wonderful, inspiring, human wisdom
I've been trying to practice Buddhism for many years now, so the content is familiar, but Pema Chödrön presents things in such a practical, beautiful and human way which really brings things alive into an encouraging and real practice.

priceless teachings
priceless teachings from Pema. the only thing is it is not read by Pema herself. An initial disappointment for me, but still read very well.

Amazing book, endlessly fascinating and wise.
I took my time to listen to this book because I really wanted to take it all in as I found it very inspiring to be able to open my mind and to connect with the world of my own experience and the world around me. Loved the voice of the narrator as well! Very beautifully read.
