A series of talks given over the course of a month-long retreat some 15 years ago, this book contains a lot of the foundations of meditation and frequent pitfalls facing the practitioner. Short, easy to read, and full of insight that can be directly applied to one's meditation practice.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is searching to awaken their loving-kindness; their innate goodness. The book also helps to deal with life's difficult moments. I know I'll be reading it again and again. Thanks to my friend for sending me this book at exactly the right time I needed it.
I read a chapter from this book everyday. Everytime I read it something new is revealed.
I have this in pocket size and carry it with me for reference.
A great prospective on the practice of loving-kindness
I read this one again and again
In my bathroom!
I read this about a month ago, and just discovered it wasn't on my list!
This miniature book is an abridged version of Chodron's "The Wisdom of No Escape." For portability, this edition is wonderful, but I would also recommend reading the original in full. She discusses the differences between our ideal and real selves, and to hear about the relationship between those two unreconciled points of view from a spiritual person's perspective is refreshing and precious.

Read for the umpteenth time -- always by my bed. Wonderfully inspriring.
The pocket size is perfect. I keep this in my purse to read at times when I would otherwise be zoning out, impatient, texting gossip or some other unloving-unkind practice. I've been focusing deeply on cultivating metta in my life, so this book is a great little "stay mindful" companion.
The kind of book that you leave on the passengers side of your car, and occassionally you pick it up and read for several minutes after you've parked your car. Nothing earth shattering found on these pages, yet the author offers reflective pleasant moments of repose.
i always have this book with me, and i need it more than always. you can go bible-dipping in this book - stick a finger in and find your fortune. what do you need to hear today? the universe will tell pema, and pema will tell you.
Trying to save it for my trip to rural Alaska. Love Pema Chodron.
Interesting, but not helpful to me.
delightful guide to meditation.
wish more people read this one...
