Summary
On this new, full-length recording, Pema Chodron, best-selling author and beloved American Buddhist nun, shows us how to recognize shenpa, catch it as it appears, and develop a playful, lively curiosity toward it. Join Pema Chodron to discover more about:
An urge comes up, we succumb to it, and it becomes stronger, teaches Pema Chodron. We reinforce our cravings, habits, and addictions by giving into them repeatedly. On Getting Unstuck, Chodron guides us through this "sticky feeling", exploring the moments when we get hooked, and offers us tools for learning to stay with our uneasiness, soften our hearts toward ourselves and others, and live a more peaceful life in the fullness of the present moment.

Gentle and effective
I had become weary of self-help in most forms: it has to suit the personality, and the difficulty lies in finding the right one for you. I suspected that this one might be a little too eastern for my taste, but decided to give it a go - maybe it could just calm me down on the drive to and from work! Well it did more than that, she has a lovely manner, and it made a lot of sense to me with regard to the way our minds work. Without much effort I have been able to stand back from a lot of my angst, and at best, turn it around and see it from the other end of the telescope.

A funny Buddhist
This is a funny and entertaining look at how anger can control us and how we need to learn to let it go and chill out essentially!!! Pema is very funny and honest about her pursuit for inner peace and I really related to her during the book. Recommended for anyone who wants to calm down and learn how to deal with stressful situations in a healthy way!

Useful Wisdom
This really made sense to me. Pema Chodron introduces the concept of 'Shenpa', that point at which we are launched into habititual behaviours that cause us pain. For example 'that person' does 'that thing' that makes you angry or self critical or... Getting unstuck is about recognising shenpa as it happens, engaging with the cause and being able to break the bad response.

A grandmother speaks wisdom
In this open and accessible talk by Pema Chodron, she comes across as grandmotherly and gently. As I listen I can imagine a twinkle in her eye as she speaks of her own experience and instructs on how to deal with issues common to all.
To anyone that has taken time to pause and reflect on their daily interactions, it's hilarious.

Brilliant and just what is needed for us all
In these troubling times we all need to find a different way of relating both to ourselves and to those around us. Pema Chodron addresses this and demonstrates how we can begin with ourselves right where we are now and how this can grow into a wise compassion that can eventually reach out and touch the world.

Amazing and strongly recommended!!
For those at an intermediate stage, this recording is really useful. It helps analyse those moments when we're stuck! Very, very useful and truly, as always, inspirational.

A really useful practical teaching, great listen
Pema is so delightful to listen to, this teaching is profound but so simple and has really given me a focus point in my meditation. Her advice is practical and her honesty about her experience makes this teaching so easy to relate to! Thank you Pema!
