In this book Pema Chödrön draws on Buddhist teachings to explore the origins of aggression, hatred, and war, explaining that they lie nowhere but within our own hearts and minds. She goes on to explain that the way in which we as individuals respond to challenges in our everyday lives can either perpetuate a culture of violence or create a new culture of compassion. "War and peace begin in the hearts of individuals," declares Pema Chödrön at the opening of this inspiring and accessible audiobook. She goes on to offer practical techniques any of us can use to work for peace in our own lives, at the level of our habits of thought and action. It's never too late, she tells us, to look within and discover a new way of living and transform not only our personal lives but our whole world. Members Reviews: This little gem feels like a summing up This little gem feels like a summing up, a condensation of the big ideas Pema teaches, without the moe detailed and lengthy unpacking she does so well in her other books. I don't know how well I would have done if it were one of my first dharma books, but when I read it now it pulls up and pulls together things I have been exploring for many years. As always Pema is clear and kindly. Love the pocketbooks! I own all of them! I enjoy Pema Chodron's writings. I own just about every book she has written. Like her mentor she has a way of putting the concepts of Buddhism into a simple understandable language. I also enjoy that she appreciates that many of us have to live in a world that is : super capitalistic, attention deficit ridden, compassionless, ideologically driven, insane society. She provides the tools to help your practice. and to be mindful in everyday living. Perfect for these times ! I love this little book. Although I have read several of Pema's books, this one has a special place in my heart. I've given several copies away to friends. ... find that this was a "tiny" book but really love it. You can carry it in your purse I was surprised to find that this was a "tiny" book but really love it. You can carry it in your purse. I read it at bedtime as it is so calming in these difficult times. Every part is relevant for today but can be applied to all aspects of your life not just peace in the global meaning. I highly recommend it. One of Pema's best. LOVED IT I bought the pocket version so I could carry it in my lunch bag. I have a very stressful job in a large hospital and some days it seems like everyone in my path got up on the wrong side of bed that morning. All I need to do is read a few pages of this book and it brings me back down to earth and levels me off. It has enabled me to overlook bad behavior more than once, and actually stay relatively peaceful through the day. Loved it.
