Good Books to Read

From Publishers Weekly
When Bad Things Happen to Good People. As the author indicates in the postscript to her book: "We live in difficult times. One senses a possibility they may get worse." Consequently, Chodron's book is filled with useful advice about how Buddhism helps readers to cope with the grim realities of modern life, including fear, despair, rage and the feeling that we are not in control of our lives.

  Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Pema Chödrön may have more good one-liners than a Groucho Marx retrospective, but this nun's stingers go straight to the heart: "The essence of bravery is being without self-deception"; "Difficult people are the greatest teachers." These are the punctuations to specific teachings of fearlessness.

  Reviewer:
"When I read this book (which was originally published in German in 1979) for the first time in the early eighties, it completely swept me off my feet. Here was an analysis that explained why I was in search of my 'true self', why I felt my achievements were 'empty', why I felt empathy for others and antipathy for myself."
  Reviewer:
"Get yourself on a new path this year. Embrace change in your life; overcome intertia. The time is now to open yourself to a bold conclusion: I will do whatever it takes to make a change in my life. When you really internalize that belief, great things happen. This book will help you on your new journey."
