The Places That Scare You by Pema Chodron
Here, Chodron offers simple, practical advice for living with less fear, less anxiety and a more open heart. We always have a choice, she teaches: we can let the circumstances of our lives harden us and make us increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and make us kind. This book shows us how to awaken our basic goodness and connect to others. In her lively, contemporary voice, Chodron translates the wisdom of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition for the layperson. Particularly in these difficult times, her advice offers us comfort and challenges us to live deeply and contribute to creating a more loving world.
