Synopsis
The beautiful practicality of her teaching has made Pema Chdrn 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. Chdrn 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, The beautiful practicality of her teaching has made Pema Chodron one of the most beloved of contemporary American spiritual authors among Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.

    I gave 5 stars on shipping because i sent 2 separate emails + they responded with helpful info, even though it arrived late. This was a great value with free shipping + the condition is very good, better than advertised 🙂! The overall quality and appearance is excellent! I highly recommend this seller and give them 👍👍👍👍

    Say it all in the title. Then you should read the details.

    This woman knows this material inside out, has been teaching for years, has a brilliant style, is humble with a sense of humor. Her work as a teacher is priceless.

  • One of the Best

    This book, "When Things Fall Apart", is written, by Pema Chodron, in a down to Earth, very clear and beautiful way. It has helped me to live better and more peacefully in both troubled and happier times. She understands a better way to live, I read this, and she helped me see how. Do yourself a kindness and read this book. Then, keep it and read it again and again.
