Summary

Here is the best-selling Buddhist teacher's radical advice for finding peace and happiness--by becoming intimate with the places we experience pain. Life is full of difficult times, which most of us encounter with avoidance tactics and fear. In When Things Fall Apart, Pema Chödrön teaches us how to embrace our painful emotions in order to gain wisdom and compassion for ourselves and others. Pema shows that when we have the courage to step into uncharted territory and relax with the essential groundlessness of the problems in our lives, we can discover a fundamental happiness and contentment that does not depend on external conditions for sustenance. Tenemos a nuestro alcance una oportunidad fundamental de felicidad que por lo general desperdiciamos, irónicamente, por estar atrapados en nuestros intentos por escapar del dolor y el sufrimiento. Pema Chödrön da un consejo compasivo y radical extraído de la sabiduría budista para cuando todo se derrumba en nuestras vidas, consejo que va a contrapelo de nuestras costumbres y expectativas habituales. Sólo hay una manera de encarar el sufrimiento que proporcione beneficio duradero, nos enseña Pema: ir hacialas situaciones dolorosas con cordialidad y curiosidad, relajándonos en la insubstancialidad fundamental de toda nuestra situación. Es ahí, en medio del caos, que podemos descubrir la verdad y el amor que son indestructibles. El libro incluye: Modos de usar las emociones dolorosas para cultivar la sabiduría, la compasión y la valentía Métodos de comunicación que llevan a una verdadera apertura hacia los demás y a una verdadera cercanía Prácticas para revertir patrones negativos habituales Técnicas para trabajar con situaciones caóticas Herramientas para cultivar una acción social enérgica y compasiva
