Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryAn urge comes up, we succumb to it, and it becomes stronger. We reinforce our cravings, habits, and addictions by giving in to them repeatedly. Pema Chödrön guides us through this "sticky feeling" and offers us tools for learning to stay with our uneasiness, soften our hearts toward others, and ourselves and live a more peaceful life in the fullness of the present moment. |

Just what I needed!
I was looking for answers when I purchased the cd book. Going through menopauase can be a monster. I was specifically looking for creative ways to deal with stress and anxiety- things that apparently go hand-in-hand with menopause;-) Well the book helped me to relax once I realize that I'm having one of those moments. And through I ordered the book with standard shipping it was delivered in just a few days which was great for me.
Pema Chodon
I have been listening to this in my car and find it a great reminder of how I want to live. Life long habits are hard to be broken and there is great grounding and encouragment in Pema's speech.
A treasure for the heart & soul, especially for busy people
I got this CD set upon my friend's recommendation. It has been a gift that keeps on giving. I hardly have enough time to read a book, so the CD set is perfect when I am driving. Pema has a great way of explaining the emotional triggers that lead us to agony and pain. The topic may seem daunting and it's easy to feel ashamed of these emotional triggers and actions. Pema's humor helps the listeners to have compassion for themselves, and approach difficult challenges with loving kindness.
I have listened to her CDs many times. From time to time, I would pop her CDs back into my car stereo, and each time, something new chimes into my heart.
I highly recommend this audio set to everyone.
Great Dharma Teachings for Drivers
I listened to the audio version which is appropriate since the audio is from live teachings on a weekend retreat.
I always like Pema Chodrun. Her experience as a mother and as a non-monastic really informs her wisdom as an advanced teacher. In this work she continues to refer to and revere her teacher Chogyum Trungpa Rinpoche; but she once makes a very dry comment about having some different views than his (to audience laughter). She manages to acknowledge all the stories about Chogyam's alcohol abuse and sexual adventures without lessening her view of him as a critical teacher and that is remarkable.
In addition to all the usual teachings about not getting hooked by shenpa (attachment), Pema gives some examples using a man she knows who was in prison for drug-use, and she waxes philosophic about the film "A Beautiful Mind."
UGH
Total waste of money. Spends a lot of time discussing the 'problems,' but the solutions are so vague & general as to be completely useless.
