Story
As much as we might try to resist, endings happen in every moment—the end of a breath, the end of a day, the end of a relationship, and ultimately the end of life. And accompanying each ending is a beginning, though it may be unclear what the beginning holds. In How We Live Is How We Die, Pema Chödrön shares her wisdom for working with this flow of life—learning to live with ease, joy, and compassion through uncertainty, embracing new beginnings, and ultimately preparing for death with curiosity and openness rather than fear.

Publisher's Summary
According to the Buddha, no one can attain basic sanity or enlightenment without practicing meditation. The teachings given here on the outlook and technique of meditation provide the foundation that every practitioner needs to awaken as the Buddha did. Trungpa teaches us to let go of the urge to make meditation serve our ambition; thus we can relax into openness. We are shown how the deliberate practice of mindfulness develops into contrived awareness, and we discover the world of insight that awareness reveals. We learn of a subtle psychological stage set that we carry with us everywhere and unwittingly use to structure all our experience - and we find that meditation gradually carries us beyond this and beyond ego altogether to the experience of unconditioned freedom.

Wisdom in every line
I have read all of this authors work repeatedly.
Chogum Trumps is obviously well practice about these topics and does impart nuances and subtleties in a relate able manner.
The narrative was excellent, particularly that these words were spoken to an audience.
There are also references to other books fir further understanding.
As an introductory read, I have chosen this as a number one - particularly as it inspires us to meditate and realise that doing meditation is the path to enlightenment and benefits our understanding of our lives

Disappointing on all counts
I found the content annoying and childish. It seemed as though the author had tried to make the explanations humourous and use language that may have been regarded as on trend back in the day, it fell flat on all accounts
Unfortunately this was a waste of time.
