Making Friends with Your Mind: The Key to Contentment

joyful lessons from living with the pain. learning to embrace what it is. a good bath listen.

Pema Chodron gives wonderful, useful advice for living life well. Great combination of her talking and then taking questions.

This is one of the most profound and helpful teachings I have ever heard. I'm listening to it now for the 5th time and look forward to sharing my learnings with my Sangha!

I think overall this was a great retreat there were pieces I could really glean from; however, there were way to many audience member questions and not enough teachings.

I felt a lot of what the audience asked were the same thing almost in some cases.

I most likely won't listen to this one again.

Listening to Pema Chodron always gets me in a better frame of mind and gives me a sense of peace. This recording from a class she taught is wonderful. Presents Buddhist teachings and life lessons in an easygoing manner that calms me and nourishes my mind and soul. I'll listen to this again and again.

Pema has a great, down-to-Earth style founded in Buddhism but with pragmatic insights that can change your perspective and life path

These were a series of talks Pema Chodron gave about having warmth towards yourself. I really liked how she took questions from the people attending the retreat. Sometimes when I listen to an audio book I start to zone out the narrator. The back and forth in the question and answer portion helped to keep me engaged. The talks were full of advice delivered with warmth and humor.

I could listen to Pema Chodron speak all day. I love her wisdom and ability to communicate in a down to earth and accessible way.
