Start Where You Are
Book • 2001
In this perennial self-help bestseller, Pema Chödrön offers down-to-earth guidance on how to go beyond fleeting attempts to 'fix' pain and instead take life as it is.
The book is framed around fifty-nine traditional Tibetan Buddhist maxims, such as 'Always meditate on whatever provokes resentment,' 'Be grateful to everyone,' and 'Don’t expect applause.
' By working with these slogans as everyday meditations, Chödrön shows how readers can develop the courage to work with their own inner pain and discover true joy, holistic well-being, and unshakeable confidence.
