Don't Bite the Hook

Finding Freedom from Anger, Resentment, and Other Destructive Emotions

Duración: 3 h y 3 m

Resumen del Editor

Life has a way of provoking us with traffic jams and computer malfunctions, with emotionally distant partners and crying children—and before we know it, we're upset. We feel terrible, and then we end up saying and doing things that only make matters worse. But it doesn't have to be that way, says Pema Chödrön. It is possible to relate constructively to the inevitable shocks, losses, and frustrations of life so that we can find true happiness. The key, Pema explains, is not biting the "hook" of our habitual responses. In this recorded weekend retreat, Pema draws on Buddhist teachings from The Way of the Bodhisattva to reveal how we can:

* stay centered in the midst of difficulty

* improve stressful relationships

* step out of the downward spiral of self-hatred

* awaken compassion for ourselves and others

It is a nice long Dharma talk

It was a very informative, enlightening Dharma talk. Not an audiobook but still very good.

Life Changing!

Impactful with a witty, entertaining narration that is simply impossible to stop listening to. I drove around a little longer just to listen to this in the car. Instantly began applying the teachings I learned from this lecture (it is a lecture with an audience), into situations in my life the very next day. Definitely will listen over and over when I need a little reminder that we are all doing our best as human beings.

Well said

Pena Chodron uses humor to really explain how to be a happier person. She points out to not just believe her but to try it. She gives such small simple things to try that anyone can do it!

Beautiful book

I have appreciated this book so much and having Pema speak for the entire book is extraordinary special.
You don’t need to be Buddhist to appreciate her words only human

great audiobook

Easy to listen to. Short. Impactful. Not just surface level teachings but deep core teachings. Recommended.

Wow!

Like Rumi says “What you seek is seeking you.” I’ve always believed in the adage “When the student is ready, the teacher shows up,” and Pema’s message was spot on and so personally needed. Thank you for this masterpiece.

ممتاز جدا ساعدني على التحكم بمشاعري

اوصي بابكتاب هذا لكل من يعاني من تأثير المشاعر السلبيه على حياته وعلى من يحب

Review

Transformational!🤔☺ Everyone needs to listen to or read this book. We need to make it obligatory.

So concise and precise!

Total pleasure to listen to this thorough yet simple commentary on Shantideva's text on Patience. Instructive in a practical way, illuminative, lots of real life examples. Seems to be an actual recording of a talk given to a small meditation class.

another powerful teaching!

A must if you have been grappling with anger issues(and who hasn't) . Pema's wisdom is so powerful but delivered so gently.
