"The way Pema writes gives a clear understanding to the bare lessons of Buddhism. This book is a great source to learning more about being aware of one's own actions and feelings, especially the ones that we are so quick to mask and avoid. Important lessons I've learned: life is always changing, mixed with the good and bad; we should never avoid our feelings but remain in the moment, understand what its about and what it means about us/ourself, then move on. Then most importantly, love your neighbor, our enemies, and especially ourselves."

"A book that addresses issues of interest to those studying Buddhism, but I did not find the book particularly enlightening. I think Chodron's interpretation of the Buddha's teachings is fundamentally flawed at times. But it was interesting to read her positions. Relatively straightforward, not poorly written."

"A bedside table keeper along with Nothing to be Frightened of. Concrete, vivid, clear, understanding, calm. Like her other book Start Where You Are but even more so. Drop the story line, don't fight the chaos. A way into meditation for westerners (if that's what my problem is) that doesn't say, "Start by sitting just 20 minutes, pretty soon you'll be doing an hour." 20 seconds is my goal."
