Critic reviews

"Chodron demonstrates how effective the Buddhist point of view can be in bringing order into disordered lives." (Publishers Weekly)

Very helpful

It is very helpful and calming audiobook. It is also nice that it was recorded in front of an audience and they were able to interact and ask questions.

Packed with Wisdom

This is a live recording of different teachings in front of an audience and not actually a traditional audio book, so there are pauses and background noise, but it did not distract. I love the clear examples, and all of the advise and wisdom in this book. I will be listening to it again.

Pema Chodron very practical guide

Out of the many Pema books I own, this is my favorite teachings. Good review for a individual that has been practicing for a long time or just beginning. Having darma talks with Pema at home is the best!!

great book

it's a great book that connects meditation with our daily lives. it answers so many questions about our inner struggles.

JRO

Pema is an inspiration! I have never done meditation or mindfulness practice and she has changed the way I think about everything. Just listening to her voice can change my entire outlook and mood. Her sense of humor is infectious.

Love Pema

Another great source for spiritual growth! I have listened to chapters over and over again. Highly recommend for anyone to utilize.

Some Praise

Oh man the ending especially got me. The difficulty of not hardening extends even into our best efforts at deescalation and Love. She’s a treasure! Thank you Pema.

The Introduction to Buddhist Practices I Needed

These live lectures give us a great feeling for Pema Chodron's easy-going, relaxed style, and I have listened to them on repeat a number of times. Before starting, I was unfamiliar with such key practices as Tonglen, and I have gone on to read and learn more about it. In the audiobook, Chodron not only explains it and gives stories of applying Tonglen, but she walks her group through the meditations. This can be somewhat slow listening if you're doing audiobooks while driving in your car as I do, but I'm sure in a private home setting it's great. I've played this at least three times and am quite sure I'll revisit again.

Good for meditation beginners

She goes over different types of meditation. She tells stories. It is funny and relaxed way of teaching.
