When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times (20th Anniversary Edition) Paperback – Deckle Edge, 7 June 2016

Loved the book. Some thoughts really stick with you after you finish reading. There isn’t one page that doesn’t teach you something.

Won't recommend it if you're below 30.

So it's a great book--- real and life affirming -- simple things to keep in mind about the nature of impermanance--- a must read though she could have formed sentences in a more reader friendly manner--- that's why 4 and not 5 stars

A book that I shall always pick to read when things fall apart. This book has some much of insight. The reason for turning to this book again in future is, it can help you find answers/solution to your confusion/questions. Everytime you will read this book you'll find something that will open your eye to something different and help you deal with situations differently. Right from the 1st chapter Intimacy with Fear this book held my attention. Having spiritual bend I enjoyed this book every chapter, every paragraph, every line and every word. Surely to recommend this book to a lot of people to read it. Personally will also keep rereading coz it really helped me understand why I myself end up taking certain decisions which aren't in my best interest.Really am awesome book, can't put in words how amazing the experience was while reading this book. Opened my eye to a lot of deep down stuff specially related to fear based decisions.Looking forward to read more books written by @pemachödrön

The book so beautiful and easily talks of our fears, our potential for kindness and for being witnesses to our own process of life as it unfolds! 2 of my major take aways:1. Simply worded practical method for meditative practice2. The view that even our most negative sounding feelings and thoughts are nothing but wisdom.LOVE IT!

I have been reading some self help books recently and this one was a bit different than the usual books advising you on being hopeful.Though it gets very deep with connects like being neither hopeful nor fearful but if you can read with an open mind you can surely take some concepts to attain a more peaceful balance.

After a long time I am reading books ,I used to read stories and novels but now my search is different and I am getting the wisdom rightly required for this moment of time in my life.I feel so fortunate that I came across Pema chödrön and that was also like I had heard sometimes back and it was a faint memory but as it said when student is ready teacher appears.I am grateful and fortunate that I could read these books by Pema chödrön, again I would say that this is pure luck that I came to know Wise master Pema chödrön.I will read these books again.Thank you for pouring wisdom into words,these teaching will strengthen my practice and mistakes that I am making.

Book is small for the price but I think the content would be great
