This is a great read for someone who is already educated in the ways of meditation. If the reader is not they will have a difficult time reaping the rewards offered by Pema in this book.

Pema Chodron shows once again why she is one of the foremost leaders in spirituality, meditation, thought, etc. So many aha moments to highlight, digest and assimilate. Simply wonderful and thought provoking.

Pema Chodron's work always delights and this book is no exception. Her words are calm and lead the reader on a path of discovery. If you are looking to continue to open your heart then this book is a must.

This is a beautiful little book that taught me a lot about awakening to true joy and kindness. The author uses very clear and easy to understand language to make her points, and though it is easy to read I found myself going over sections over and over again because they were so important. The use of everyday life experiences is stressed throughout the book to really find your true self and find joy. I know I will be coming back to this book often, I learned a lot from it.
