About this listen

It’s true, as they say, that we can only love others when we first love ourselves and we can only experience real joy when we stop running from pain. The key to understanding these truisms lies in remaining open to life in all circumstances, and here Pema Chödrön shows us how. Because when we embrace the happiness and suffering, intelligence and confusion that are a natural part of life, we can begin to discover a wellspring of courageous love within our hearts.

Not only is the book amazing, I love how the voice talent sounds so much like Pema. I'm very picky about voices. It's like Pema is speaking. Very professional, and simply perfect! Thank you!

one of my favorites from Pema

Being new to the subject of meditation and Buddhism I found this quite easier to read and understand than other endeavors I attempted. Highly recommended first introduction or quick refresher on the topics of meditation and Buddhism.

Beautifully simplistic

I really enjoyed listening to this book and found the narrator's voice really calling but still engaging and found this to be a helpful book and I just finished the four agreements and I felt that there were some true similarities that made me enjoy this even more. I found all the metaphors that she gave in the book were helpful and enjoyable. Sometimes a metaphor just really sticks in my head and makes me understand things at a deeper level.

So many fabulous metaphors! Loved this book!

This book is unique in Pema Chodron, since she thought in one month retreat and every day gave a new teaching! Very powerful!
