Title: Inviting in that which we avoid as a tool toward peace. Wonderful.
Review: With fear, resentment and the idea that everything that is happening in today's world is "wrong" and problematic, this book offers a courageous look at stepping toward that which we fear to explore it, be with it, learn from it. This is the first book I have read on Buddhist teachings and I was struck most by the practice of maitri or "loving kindness toward oneself" that Pema Chodron weaves throughout the book, and to practice living without judging, either ourselves or our world. Profound reading in times of struggle. Very highly recommended.
