Book Reviews of Getting Unstuck: Breaking Your Habitual Patterns & Encountering Naked Reality
Book Review: good spiritual medicine
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first tape of Pema I have purchased, but since I bought it, I've purchased two more! She is WISE, SOOTHING, a BALM for the soul and troubled or non-troubled mind! UPLIFING, INSPIRING, and MINDFULL! Book Review: Good way to get "unhooked"
Summary: 4 Stars
Pema Chodron does a great job explaining often convoluted Bhuddist teachings. I did not realize this is a recording of a seminar that she taught (I thought it was a book reading). The main teaching is focused on the concept of shenpa, which is that feeling you get when someone pushes your buttons and you get angry or sad or some other inappropriate emotion. She uses the metaphor of getting hooked, like a fish and goes on to explain ways to get unhooked. Good information and enjoyable narration.Book Review: Don't Buy This Unless You Enjoy Mumbo Jumbo

A waste of money for those of us who live in the real world versus the spiritual world.Book Review: Eye-opening exploration of how we can get out of our own way
Summary: 5 Stars
This work provided me with the most practical emotional 'tools' I've ever been exposed to. Pema is not only fun and 'centering' as a speaker, but she speaks articulately and without a lot of extra verbage. She gets right to the point and in the gentlest way shows us possibilities of responding differently to things that disturb us. We learn that by looking at things differently it is easy to empower ourselves to not be so disturbed, to not be so reactive, and yet still be very much authentic to ourselves. She is a true beacon for those trying to become more patient, more positive, more focused on what they really want to become in their lives. Highly recommended for people of any age, temperament or religious persuasion.Book Review: Outstanding Content
Summary: 5 Stars
Pema is very funny and personable. She cuts throught it and gets to the point with excellent real world examples. What she gives on this CD is something that you can use everyday. Her discussion on "Shenpa" was worh the price of the CD!
