Summary

We live in difficult times. Life so often seems like a turbulent river threatening to drown us and destroy our world. Why, then, shouldn’t we cling to the certainty of the comfortable - to our deep-seated habits and familiar ways? Because, Pema Chödrön teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more powerful experience of being fully alive.

The teachings she presents here - known as the “Three Commitments” - provide a treasure trove of wisdom for learning to step right into the unknown, to completely and fearlessly embrace the groundlessness of being human. When we do, we begin to see not only how much better it feels to live an openhearted life, but we find that we begin to naturally and more effectively reach out to help and heal all those around us.

Critic reviews

"Chödrön’s strength is her ability to communicate to a general audience that people are essentially good, that they can be free from fear, and that they can always try again when they fail." (Publishers Weekly)

What I’ve been looking for

Fabulous book which was recommended reading for an up and coming yoga retreat. So happy I have read this as I had been looking for a nice way of learning more about Buddhism and how to implement the teaching into my daily life. Definitely one I will be coming back to again.

The best book I've ever read/heard

It has changed my life, to drop the storyline, to accept life as it is, to keep opening the door a bit more ech time. Thank you Pema!
