When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron

The advice Chdrn offers is radically different from other self-help prescriptions on the market. This book could serve you for a lifetime. Natural Health How can we go on living when things fall apartwhen we are overcome by pain, fear, and anxiety? Pema Chdrns answer to that question contains some spectacularly good news: there is a fundamental happiness readily available to each one of us, no matter how difficult things seem to be. To find it, according to traditional Buddhist teaching, we must learn to stop running from suffering and instead actually learn to approach itfearlessly, compassionately and with curiosity. This radical practice enables us to use all situations, even very painful ones, as means for discovering the truth and love that are utterly indestructible. Pema Chdrn is an American Buddhist nun in the lineage of Chgyam Trungpa. She is resident teacher at Gampo Abbey in Nova Scotia, and is the author of nine books and many audiobooks including The Places That Scare Youand Dont Bite the Hook.
