The beautiful practicality of her teaching has made Pema Chödrön one of the most beloved of contemporary American spiritual authors among Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. A collection of talks she gave between 1987 and 1994, the book is a treasury of wisdom for going on living when we are overcome by pain and difficulties. Chödrön discusses:

   • Using painful emotions to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and courage
   • Communicating so as to encourage others to open up rather than shut down
   • Practices for reversing habitual patterns
   • Methods for working with chaotic situations
   • Ways for creating effective social action
