Book Reviews of Getting Unstuck: Breaking Your Habitual Patterns & Encountering Naked Reality
Book Review: Pema Chodron Master Teacher
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read many books on Buddhism, but none were as understandable as the books and tapes of Pema Chodron. She makes the inscrutable, scrutable.Book Review: She's the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I read her book "When Things Fall Apart" and really liked it. I decided to give this audiobook a try. Her messages, delivery style, and sense of humor and humility are so refreshing. I'll listen to this one for years to come.Book Review: changed my life
Summary: 5 Stars
I have done a lot of soul searching through exploring various religions, meditations, and self help books. I can say that I've learned a lot but learning and being able to apply the concepts are two different things. This book gave me a few tools that finally gave me the ability to apply much of the knowledge I had gained to my life. I cannot stress enough how much I love this book. I am probably going to buy this book as well as "the power of now" for all of my closest family and friends.Book Review: Very inspirational.
Summary: 5 Stars
A great cd to listen to. I wouldn't recommend listening to it on the go however ;)Book Review: Requires repeated listening
Summary: 5 Stars
Getting Unstuck is my second CD set of Pema Chodron's lessons. I listen to them while commuting. I started with Good Medicine, which I love. Anyway, this one is harder to hear because it addresses our addictions, not just drugs and alcohol, but mean thoughts, shopping sprees, obsessions, and whatever we all do to avoid just being with our feelings. I listen to each CD a few times before moving on to the next CD. Then I go back and listen to the first CDs again. This set has six lessons on three CDs. This week I am beginning to understand what she is teaching.
I find that listening to the CDs, rather than reading the books, allows me to get the message. Somehow I am forced to listen, while the book is so easy to put down and forget.
Changing how one reacts to the world is not like taking a pill with instant results. And it is not like riding an escalator where the only direction we go is up. You can't listen to these lesson once and become the Dalai Lama. But if you can listen to Pema, you can start to listen to yourself with compassion. And that in itself is liberating.
