I appreciate this book for its realistic advice. Unlike most conventional wisdom, the ideas Pema Chodren expressed have been effective for me, as well as I have been able to practice them over the years.
“As we become more wholehearted in this journey of gentle honesty, it comes as quite a shock to realize how much we’ve blinded ourselves to some of the ways in which we cause harm.”
