When Things Fall Apart
By Pema Chödrön
176 pages
For anyone who's woken up to a life smashed to pieces:
First published in 1997, When Things Fall Apart is the master class in what to do when life turns frightening, painful and totally messed up. Chödrön is an American Buddhist nun whose spiritual approach resonates no matter your religious beliefs. This isn't about complacency; it's about making more room in our hearts rather than shrinking away. Chödrön offers a practice that can transform heartbreak and anxiety into genuine joy.
