Title: extremely refreshing
Review: I would recommend this book as an extremely refreshing take on the usual "self-help" books that are bent on trying to "fix" things that are "wrong" in your life. I found it very comforting to read Chodron's advice that it's better to confront painful situations rather than seek a way to avoid them. Maybe she's right, maybe she's wrong....but I found a lot of very challenging ideas that I tried out almost immediately. And if you are already feeling down, out of control or suffering from grief, it can be great to read a book whose intent is not to sugar-coat your feelings, but rather offers advice on how to really look at them.
Is the review positive or negative?
