When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chödrön

5.0

A lot to absorb

This was my first Pema Chodron book, surprisingly. The first part is helpful when dealing with a crisis even if her teachings may be difficult to swallow (ie. the only thing that will save you is facing chaos head-on). The second half read more like a primer on her particular brand of Buddhism, and thus was more esoteric (though I still found it interesting).
