When Things Fall Apart

Heart Advice for Difficult Times

De: Pema Chodron

Narrado por: Christy Meyer

How can we live our lives when everything seems to fall apart—when we are continually overcome by fear, anxiety, and pain? The answer, Pema Chödrön suggests, might be just the opposite of what you expect. Here, in her most beloved and acclaimed work, Pema shows that moving toward painful situations and becoming intimate with them can open up our hearts in ways we never before imagined. Drawing from traditional Buddhist wisdom, she offers life-changing tools for transforming suffering and negative patterns into habitual ease and boundless joy.

Life changing. Read 5 times.

Totally worth it. Read it 5 times. Will read again. So much wisdom. Yes. Yes. Yes.

I found myself on practically every page. It was a relief to know that I'm not losing my mind, hank you so much for this.

This book was very helpful, but it is necessary for me to read it several times because of its depth. I am very appreciative of it.😘

Belleza actual

He leído este libro muchas veces y en esta ocasión, tanto por mi momento de vida como por la situación mundial fue revolucionario. “Offer chaos a cup of tea“ 😘

Meditation as a tool

Excellent practical advice for dealing with every day life stress. Great resources for using you stress and trauma to get to a better place

Great Lessons

This book simplifies lessons for a more rewarding life. It teaches you how to treat yourself, others, and the world better.

Profound & pragmatic wisdom

This is another of Pema Chodron’s books that could be listened to again and again, providing new learning in each iteration. Every part offers deep insight that is both philosophical and directly applicable to daily life.

Solid message, read in the wrong tone

Incredible, timeless learnings. Unfortunately the reader delivered in a sing-song-y, breathy manner that felt disconnected to the message. For me, it was difficult to pay attention, hearing it read in what felt like a children’s book kind of voice, while the contents are mature, deviously funny, and profoundly severe. This made me doubt that the reader had any experience with the teachings, creating a disconnect that was almost insurmountable. I would love to have heard the author read it, or at least someone who had personal experience with what was being read.

Love listening again

Wonderful voice for the content. Beautiful flow and amazing material to connect with. It often helps me sleep!

Much needed read.

Found this book the day I was broken up with and definitely a good read if you’re going through a hard time. There was a lot useful advice and reassurance. Enjoyed the soft spoken narration, too.
