Welcoming the Unwelcome

Wholehearted Living in a Brokenhearted World

De: Pema Chödrön

Narrado por: Claire Foy

From the best-selling author of When Things Fall Apart comes an open-hearted call for human connection, compassion, and learning to love the world just as it is during these most challenging times.

In her first new book of spiritual teachings in over seven years, Pema Chödrön offers a combination of wisdom, heartfelt reflections, and the signature mix of humor and insight that have made her a beloved figure to turn to during times of change. In an increasingly polarized world, Pema shows us how to strengthen our abilities to find common ground, even when we disagree, and influence our environment in positive ways. Sharing never before told personal stories from her remarkable life, simple and powerful everyday practices, and directly relatable advice, Pema encourages us all to become triumphant bodhisattvas - compassionate beings - in times of hardship.

Welcoming the Unwelcome includes teachings on the true meaning of karma, recognizing the basic goodness in ourselves and the people we share our lives with - even the most challenging ones, transforming adversity into opportunities for growth, and freeing ourselves from the empty and illusory labels that separate us. Pema also provides step-by-step guides to a basic sitting meditation and a compassion meditation that anyone can use to bring light to the darkness we face, wherever and whatever it may be.

This book saved me when nothing else could

The loving kindness/ Bodichita is so clear. Something I’ve always missed. Pema is so gentle here. & the practice of these ideas actually work

Excellent and Personally Meaningful

I could certainly relate to the cleanliness story. I had to let go of my extreme cleanliness years ago. Excellent voice reading the book and it kept my attention leading me to finish the book in a day, which is rare for me. Wonderful book!

Great book!

loved the reader's voice, great book for wanting to work on becoming the best you for the benefit of the world as a whole!

Welcoming the Unwelcome

Me encantó el contenido! Mensajes concretos, fácil de entender y comprender! Muy digerible!
Lo recomiendo para aquellas personas q estén pasando por algún tipo de duelo, q se estén dando cuenta del dolor causado y que les han causado y sobretodo que están en un proceso de sanación y conciencia!

Pema Classic!

I love Pema Chodron teachings, and this was no exception. But…I’d much rather hear it in her voice though. She has such a great sense of humor!
