From the Preface: “The talks in this book were given during a one-month practice period (dathun) in the spring of 1989…. Early each morning these talks were presented. They were intended to inspire and encourage the participants to remain wholeheartedly awake to everything that occurred and to use the abundant material of daily life as their primary teacher and guide.” I found the readings helpful…most fairly short…titles like “Satisfaction,” “Finding Our Own True Nature,” “Precision, Gentlen...more
In the spirit of Sogyal Rinpoche's The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, the great Buddhist Nun Pema Chödrön's collection of three slim volumes were a companion for me during a time of extraordinary hardship. It actually started by an audio cassette recording a very dear friend sent of Pema reading from When Things Fall Apart, which prompted me to buy that volume as well as the others.
The title says it all: when our best laid plans go awry, when we've weaved too many tangled webs ... it's time to get back to basics. That's what this book does; it reminds me about what's REALLY important, what's truly essential, what we can't live without ...
Pema Chodron is a wonderful teacher in the Shambalah Buddhist tradition. Down-to-earth, straightforward, but never dilutes core teachings or precepts.
Funny, engaging, and moving -- all at once.

This book gave me some things to think about. I'm always searching for helpful ways to view myself and my place in the world.

I found the book in a 2nd hand shop.
Pema Chodron is a Buddhist nun who shares her understanding of finding the sacred within the human experience.
Like going to yoga class--you find inspiration in the strangest moments.
Great wisdom in not being able to escape.
In brief: I found it hard to follow along. It's more a collection of Chodron's old talks and musings, not really a cohesive book. There are good points and interesting ideas in here, but it's just not as engaging as, say, a Kornfield's work.
pema waits and is always ready and given that it's a recording always says exactly the same thing and of course each time it is different because i tend to listen again when i am most willing to change and what i hear is new and deeper every time.

Recommends it for:
people who are interested in spirtuality that is not dumbed down or pandering
How can I dislike Alice Walker somuch and yet find Pema Chodron so riveting. I owe it all to Bill Moyers, I'm sure . . .
These audio cds are absolutely awesome! Pema Chodron is an excellent speaker on buddhism.
Just awesome:) She has such a wonderful way of teaching.
definitely worth re-reading
love her!!!!
she is so wise. so brave.
can be dry if you're not in the mood but absolutely essential if you're having a rough time
Should be in everyone's library. Juts take the message, you don't need to be a Buddhist.
