    About The Places That Scare You

    Beloved Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön offers guidance for coping with the difficult moments in our lives—showing us how they can soften our hearts and open us to greater kindness

    We always have a choice in how we react to the circumstances of our lives. We can let them harden us and make us increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and allow our inherent human kindness to shine through.

    In The Places That Scare You, Pema Chödrön provides essential tools for dealing with the many difficulties that life throws our way, teaching us how to awaken our basic human goodness and connect deeply with others—to accept ourselves and everything around us complete with faults and imperfections. Drawing from the core teachings of Buddhism, she shows the strength that comes from staying in touch with what’s happening in our lives right now and helps us unmask the ways in which our egos cause us to resist life as it is. If we go to the places that scare us, Pema suggests, we just might find the boundless life we’ve always dreamed of.

    About The Places That Scare You

    “A lively and accessible take on ancient techniques for transforming terror and pain into joy and compassion” (O magazine)—now available in Spanish.

    Pema Chödrön nos enseña que siempre tenemos la oportunidad de elegir: podemos permitir que las circunstancias de nuestras vidas nos endurezcan y nos hagan cada vez más resentidos y temerosos, o podemos dejar que nos ablanden y nos hagan más benevolentes. Aquí Pema nos da las herramientas para lidiar con los problemas y dificultades que la vida nos depara. Ella nos enseña que esta sabiduría siempre está a nuestra disposición, pero generalmente la bloqueamos con patrones habituales arraigados en el temor. Más allá de este temor, yace un estado de generosidad y ternura.

    Este libro nos enseña a despertar nuestra bondad fundamental y a conectarnos con otros, a aceptarnos nosotros mismos y a los demás íntegramente, con fallas e imperfecciones, y a mantenernos en el momento presente al advertir las estrategias del ego que provocan que nos resistamos a aceptar la vida tal como ésta es.
