"This book has a few REALLY great statements, such as: "We work on ourselves in order to help others, but also we help others in order to work on ourselves." Oh, wait a second, that's the only one.
A major part of her instruction is to teach the reader how to work with 'slogans'. I find these extremely annoying, especially when they are not in a meaningful context for me and she begins every single paragraph with "Another slogan says..."
I picked up the book b/c she is said to frame her teachings for the western mind. I found it way more confusing than Thich Naht Hahn's writing and that's what I'll be going back to."
"This was my first Pema Chodron book, and I love her honesty. I'll never forget her story of throwing rocks at her ex - She became a real person to me with that one."
"This book is just so good. It is written very simply and just makes so much sense. No matter where you are at in life, this book as something for you. I would recommend this, or any book, by Pema Chodron. She is way cool."
