The warmth, compassion, and humor that have so helped me are in much shorter supply in this format. This title is a reading of one of her books, narrated by somebody else. I love Pema Chodron. I have purchased three other of her audio recordings from Amazon, and her warmth, compassion, and humor have made a huge impression on me and helped me in my everyday life and meditation practice.The difference between the other titles I've purchased and this title is that the other titles were recordings of Pema herself, in front of a live audience.
Hopefully, less is more in this review. Self Acceptance is the basis of emotional resilience. This book contains the background for two meditations that are useful to me.
enjoy. It's a great book for people into meditation, it's kind of hard to understand at first but the end result is very beneficial to you all.
Pleasing enough to read.not anything that avid readers of this subject matter will necessary relish.
"The Wisdom of No Escape" is the second book I've read by Pema Chodron, and she continues to provoke, fascinate, and inspire me. Instead of always running toward something "better", what if we learned to really look at ourselves the way we are right now. As human beings and Americans living in the 21st century, we are taught to be constantly striving for something better: a better job, a better body, a better mate, a better life, etc, etc, etc. This book challenges that way of thinking and encourages us to see this moment in the life we have right now as the best possible teacher.
