1.When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by: Pema Chodron January 11, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $2.58
This is mainly in response to the reviewer who wrote that this book is "esoteric drivel." The reviewer's summation of the main ideas in the book is incorrect and if you know anything at all about Buddhism, you know it isn't about dogma. One of the many teachings of Buddhism says "Live your life as an experiment. Don't take someone else's word about what the truth is. Find out for yourself." That said, you can hardly go wrong with any book by Pema Chodron.

2.The Places That Scare You: A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times by: Pema Chodron March 27, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $2.74
In a nutshell, if you don't want to bring awareness to the places in yourself you avoid and would rather not deal with awakening, do not listen to or read this book. If you are interested in a brilliantly written perspective on compassionate spiritual awakening, then by all means get it and listen or read it over and over. We are so blessed to live in a time where we have teachers like Pema Chodron to give us instruction on how to bring awareness to our habitual thinking that keep us stuck. Yes, it can be frightening to look within with such scrutiny, but Pema reminds us that we can intend to begin our inquiry from a compassionate and accepting place.Self condemnation for what we find in ourselves is a trap and another mental agonizer. I have seemed to be addicted to drama ... Read More

3.Comfortable with Uncertainty: 108 Teachings on Cultivating Fearlessness and Compassion (Shambhala Library) by: Pema Chodron October 14, 2008

I listen to Pema CDs in my car. My only problem is that when I park, I wait for Pema to complete a thought so I can turn off the car. But she keeps going seamlessly on. These CDs are a reading of her book, which was written in complete sentences. So I can turn off the car when the reader pauses. I like the voice of the reader, calm with enough inflection to carry the meaning of the sentences. Let me comment on the person who said that it was too difficult to read. Listen to the CDs. What you can grasp, you grasp. Listen to them again. Ah, a little more of it clicks with you. This is why I like listening to the CDs rather than reading the books.

4.Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living (Shambhala Library) by: Pema Chodron March 09, 2004

You should know that the CD Audio Book CDs have .WAV files on them rather than regular CD files or .MP3s. The reader is clear and easy to follow. If you liked the book, I think you'll like the CD version too. I picked this book after reading Eckart Tolle's New Earth. Pema Chodron speaks to many of the same issues from a little different perspective that, while perhaps more religious, seems clearer to me; more understandable. At the same time, I also think it's possible that many of us need to read both perspectives to gain a better understanding. I was attracted to this book by the title. Being able to Start Where You Are was an empowering notion. It was the idea that I don't need to wait till I (grow up, finish school, lose weight, get married, get divorced, get a job, retire) ...

5.Getting Unstuck by: Pema Chodron March 01, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $24.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $16.47 You Save: $8.48 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.99
Listening to Pema Chodron speak is a delightful experience in itself, with her soft lyrical voice. Her teachings are clear and sound, and punctuated with delightful humor. The teachings were given to a live "audience" and there are points during this taping in which she takes direct questions from the audience. This is a wonderful part of this book! The teachings provide a way of looking squarely at the things that "hook" us so that we can be free from the fantasies, cravings and addictions that drain our lives. It is about taking joy in seeing clearly what we do (even if it's difficult to look at), so we don't become discouraged and hopeless. She refers to the things, the thoughts, the urges, that "hook" us as "shempa". She talks about how to "stay" with the discomfort of shempa, instead of feeding our ... Read More

I love all Pema books. This one is as well written, and full of supportive spirit as the others.

7.Don't Bite the Hook: Finding Freedom from Anger, Resentment, and Other Destructive Emotions by: Pema Chodron July 10, 2007

After listening to me rage, blame, and lose myself in hatefulness for 5 years after a very painful breakup a dear friend loaned me her cds of Pema Chodron talks. I am SO grateful for my friend and for Pema! I'm not a Buddhist(with a capital B) but I found myself again while listening to her(Pema). I have since bought many books and cds and continue to learn more about loving kindness for myself and others (yes, even HIM).

8.The Pema Chodron Audio Collection: Pure Meditation:Good Medicine:From Fear to Fearlessness by: Pema Chodron April 12, 2005

I stumbled across Pema Chodron on Amazon and am so glad I did. What a truly inspiring person. I loved this collection because it is warm and human and funny. She shares her many years of wisdom with heart and her messages are simple and inclusive. This cd has not only helped me meditate but also reminded me to treat myself with kindness.

9.Turning the Mind Into an Ally by: Sakyong Mipham January 06, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $14.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.20 You Save: $2.80 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.41
Insomnia was keeping me awake in the middle of the night. I had tried several different things, all to no avail. Mipham's book showed me how to stop my mind from jumping steadily from one subject to the next. With Mipham's meditation technique I can be asleep within a few minutes.

10.How to Meditate with Pema Chodron: A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Mind by: Pema Chodron 2007-12

While there are valuable ideas and suggestions in Pema Chodron's CD series, it is decidedly from a Buddhist perspective and seems to assume the listener is an active or aspiring Buddhist as well. A great series if that is one's desire. If not, there are decidedly better resources available.
