Pema Chödrön is one of the three best selling Buddhist authors. She has the amazing ability to take problems and concerns that we ordinary people all have and to show us how to get through this using the wisdom of Buddhism.

This is probably Pema Chodron's most popular book which has helped many practitioners and also non-practitioners. During our lifetime we are sometimes faced with terrible situations and circumstances. Pema covers many of these negative situations and offers very practical and benefical advice on how to handle these situations.

"Generally speaking, we regard discomfort in any form as bad news. But for practitioners or spiritual warriors-people who have a certain hunger to know what is true-feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we're hold- ing back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we'd rather collapse and back away. They're like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we're stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it's with us wherever we are."--Pema Chödrön
