A delight to read,
This review is from: When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times (Shambhala Library) (Hardcover)
I found this book lying around a house I've recently moved from. I don't know who bought it or what it was doing there, but the timing for finding it couldn't be better. I was having a bit of a hard time, and life was generally pants. I picked up the book as the title intrigued me, and to be honest, it was the best medicine I could have hoped for. No matter who you are, or where you come from, there's is guaranteed to be something to relate to in here. I personally read so much that rang true, it made me feel glad to be part of this world. I read the book a while ago, and will definately be buying it for myself, it's enlightening to read, no words can describe how wonderful it is.

Difficult but true...,

This review is from: When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times (Paperback)
I read this book because I was interested in improving my personal patience. At first I found it difficult to get into the book; it felt like I was walking through treacle. I decided to slow down and really give the chapters some thought and it started to make sense. It doesn't hit you with a "wham" rather you suddenly find yourself doing something or in my case not doing something - losing my temper or arguing over a trivial matter.It really helped me to focus on the "now" and not on the past or the future. I AM NOT religious in any shape or form but Buddhism practices and the associated way of life has always intrigued me. I will read more about this fascinating subject. Buy this book, take your time and really digest the contents. I am certain that it will help improve you in some way.

A life changing book that I read time and time again,
By A Customer
This review is from: When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times (Shambhala Classics) (Paperback)
I bought this book eighteen months ago when I was struggling with life. Pema Chodron's compassion, experience and wisdom provided immediate comfort, transformed my outlook on life and started me on the road to learning more about meditation and later Buddhism. I often re-read chapters and have sent several copies to friends who have found it equally rewarding. The cassette tape version provides a useful alternative method of 'reading' the same book and complements the hardcopy version. A 'must have' for anyone in a hard place.
