The perennially helpful guide to transforming our pains and difficulties into opportunities for genuine joy and personal growth, from the beloved Buddhist nun and author of When Things Fall ApartWe all want to be fearless, joyful, and fully alive. And we all know that its not so easy. Were bombarded every day with false promises of ways to make our lives betterbuy this, go here, eat this, dont do that; the list goes on and on. But Pema Chdrn shows that, until we get to the heart of who we are and really make friends with ourselves, everything we do will always be superficial.In this perennial selfhelp bestseller, Pema offers downtoearth guidance on how we can go beyond the fleeting attempts to fix our pain and, instead, to take our lives as they are as the only path to achieve what we all yearn for most deeplyto embrace rather than deny the difficulties of our lives. These teachings, framed around fiftynine traditional Tibetan Buddhist maxims, point us directly to our own hearts and minds, such as Always meditate on whatever provokes resentment, Be grateful to everyone, and Dont expect applause. By working with these slogans as everyday meditations, Start Where You Are shows how we can all develop the courage to work with our own inner pain and discover true joy, holistic wellbeing, and unshakeable confidence.
