Pema Chödrön is an American Buddhist nun in the lineage of Chögyam Trungpa and resident teacher at Gampo Abbey in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, the first Tibetan Buddhist monastery in North America. She is the author of numerous best-selling books, including The Places That Scare You and Living Beautifully.
“Perhaps what makes Pema’s message resonate so strongly with
people, no matter what their religion or spiritual path, is its
universality. Each of us has experienced heartache; how we interact
with that feeling, Pema says, can create the possibility of a more
joyful life.”—O, The Oprah Magazine

then cultivate a fearlessly compassionate attitude toward your own
pain and that of others.”—Lion’s Roar

wisdom to bear upon our daily triumphs and tragedies. . . .
Incredibly wise and poignantly practical.”—Spirituality &

“Chödrön's book is filled with useful advice about how Buddhism
helps readers to cope with the grim realities of modern life,

Buddhist point of view can be in bringing order into disordered
lives.”—Publishers Weekly
