Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living
Start Where You Are is a must-have guide for growing in confidence and compassion. Pema Chödrön offers sobering advice on how to "start where we are"—embracing rather than denying the painful aspects of our lives—through insight and humor. Pema Chodron organizes her lessons on empathy around 59 traditional mantras or aphorisms from Tibetan Buddhism, such as: Continuously utilize just a joyful perspective," "Don't look for others' aggravation as limits of your joy," and "Consistently consider whatever dismays."
Start Where You Are demonstrates how we can all cultivate the courage to confront our inner pain and discover joy, well-being, and confidence by using these mantras and meditation.
