Resumen del Editor

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.

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!

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

Welcoming the Unwelcome

This book touched my heart and captured my mind. I am glad to have read it after another of Pena’s books and the knowledge gained prior to listening to this book. She provides a down to earth and simple discovery of ones self leading us to the path of enlightenment. It was truly a blessing.

My favorite Pema book so far!!!

I have been a Pema Chodron fan for a few years now and this book is my new favorite. Her message rings so true to me. The stories, messages and suggestions are so helpful as I face a phase in my life filled with so many of the more unwelcome emotions...specifically fear and anxiety.
I have struggled through previous audiobooks narrated by people other than Pema herself. This is definitely NOT the case this time.
Claire Foy is an exceptional narrator...she is the perfect compliment to Pema’s writing. I will listen to this book over and over.

A Great Teacher

Pema Chodron has been my teacher for many years. I love Maitra. She helps us to, first start liking ourselves, which she turns into love. Love is much easier with Pema Chodron in our lives.

Very insightful and well written

I enjoyed this book very much. Especially the tools to work with exercises. Thank you

wonderful

Pema is an amazing author. I have read many of her books and find her insights and recommendations extremely useful. I feel so grateful for her examples and lessons on how to live and not get so caught up in your suffering.

Lovely

I've listened twice and I'll be listening a 3rd time as this is the type of book that needs to sink in.

Enjoyable

A positive outlook on life and a reminder to be kind to others even in times of stress
