Loved!! One tiny quip

Awesome recording I'd highly recommend. Wasn't a fan of the interviewer's breathy "trying to sound blissed out and chill" voice which sounded really out on. However she only asks a few questions & Pema's responses are so down to earth and awesome it doesn't really matter - it's becomes funny as to how genuine Pema in contrast :)

Great talk given by a great teacher

Here Pema Chodron gives her a personal interview at the end of the book about her past and how she came to be in Buddhism. She goes through here two meditations and one is very powerful. Here we learn about rooting ourselves to be flexible and preparing ourselves to be ready for the unexpected. I've been reading on old 'Earth' religions and they teach the same thing. I've found this technique very useful. Here you will find the information very useful and helpful.

Just What the Doctor Ordered

Unconditional Confidence covers everything one needs to view life in a new way. It sounds easy but requires determination on the part of the student.

Essential Teachings

Like most of Pema Chödrön's teaching, this is given in accessible language, stories, and ideas. Working especially with fear, but also for anger jealousy, etc, these are essential tools for the journey. Super helpful for present situation, working with a crisis around an aging parent and with sibling caregiver and other family. Witnessing how applying tenderness for myself and others was the way out of being "hooked", and falling into old patterns.

Great teaching

If you could sum up Unconditional Confidence in three words, what would they be?

listen to it

Any additional comments?

If you're looking for some realistic, invaluable buddhist teachings from a down-to-earth teacher, Pema is it.
