The Places That Scare You

A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times

De: Pema Chödrön

Narrado por: Joanna Rotte

We always have a choice, Pema Chödrön 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 kinder. Here Pema provides the tools to deal with the problems and difficulties that life throws our way. This wisdom is always available to us, she teaches, but we usually block it with habitual patterns rooted in fear. Beyond that fear lies a state of openheartedness and tenderness. This audiobook teaches us how to awaken our basic goodness and connect with others, to accept ourselves and others complete with faults and imperfections, and to stay in the present moment by seeing through the strategies of ego that cause us to resist life as it is.

Excellent

The text answered or provided further insight for me to further develop. The stories and personal content made it easier and more palatable for my mental consumption. I love it!

Pema Always has the right advise for the right time

This has all to do with being human and how to lead a wholehearted life. Not religion. Buddhism is a lifestyle that you lead. So reading these books can only help you be a better human. Pema Chödrön gives advise in a way that its easy to understand. I completely recommend reading her books.

Such a rich resource

I love Pema Chodron's writing, and this reading of her work was nuanced and well done. I enjoyed this so much I bought the paperback.

Absolutely loved this book

The wisdom in this audiobook feels so relevant , particularly given where we are as a human race - the chaos, complexities and challenges we are all facing today. May the roots of suffering indeed end. Thank you Pema.
