About this listen

It’s true, as they say, that we can only love others when we first love ourselves and we can only experience real joy when we stop running from pain. The key to understanding these truisms lies in remaining open to life in all circumstances, and here Pema Chödrön shows us how. Because when we embrace the happiness and suffering, intelligence and confusion that are a natural part of life, we can begin to discover a wellspring of courageous love within our hearts.

I can't seem to get past not hearing Pema's voice. If I realized that it was someone else narrating I probably wouldn't have bought this audiobook. Other than that it seems to have the same wisdom that you get in all her books, but I just can't seem to get used to not hearing her voice

I wish it was Pema narrating
