Product Description

Review
'It's short, and so beautifully written that the reading is a pleasure -- speaks to people of all religious persuasions. The clearsighted practicality of Chodron's approach to the practice of meditation is a persuasive introduction to its benefits in our daily lives. Her voice is , understanding, gently humorous, always kind and seemingly infinitely wise.' The LA Times 'As one of Pema Chodron's grateful students, I have been learning the most pressing and necessary lesson of all: how to keep opening wider my own heart.' Alice Walker 'It is a lively and accessible take on ancient techniques for transforming terror and pain into joy and compassion.' O, the Oprah Winfrey magazine ''Pema's deep experience and her fresh way of looking at things are like mountain water -- clear and deep.' Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart and After the Ecstasy, the Laundry.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Face Fear, 1 Nov 2003
This book is very helpful when you have to deal with fear. It shows a way how to accept your fears, how not to harden against the challanges in your life and not to get overwhelmed by them. It is cowardice what makes you build up an armour, but courage allows you to stay vulnerable. Pema Chodron does not only advocate this philosophy but offers practical tools how to put it into practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought I knew it all........, 17 Jan 2005
But even if I did, there's still a chance i'm not conciously aware of it.....whatever it may be. Pema Chodron has an easy to read style that helped a lot since I hate reading.

If you're interested enough about the book to read the reviews then you'll already have an idea what it contains.

No secret message, but common sense mostly. Sometime we need something to gently remind us of who we really are, and this book is a good start.

Not just for budding Buddhists, but everyone that may feel 'wanting' or 'wary' in some way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, 10 Sep 2007
By L. M. Banks "Oscar's mum" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Pema writes with such insight and compassion that you can feel the warmth from her seeping through every page. Inspiring reading and this book certainly made me look at myself in a completely new light. This is a book that once you have read, you can keep dipping into when things get tough.

I like the way pema chodron writes, it is poetic enough to carry you without being flowery at all. I came to this via a search for a non-drug way to deal with depression, anxiety... Read more
