The key to understanding these truisms is simple but not easy: we must learn to open ourselves up to life in all its manifestations. Here, spiritual teacher and \u003ci\u003eWhen Things Fall Apart\u003c\/i\u003e author Pema Chödrön presents a uniquely practical approach to doing just that, showing us the true value in having \"no escape\" from the ups and downs of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from her own experiences with marriage, divorce, motherhood, and more, Pema reveals that when we embrace the happiness and heartache, the inspiration and confusion--all the twists and turns that are part of natural life--we can begin to discover a true wellspring of courageous love that's been within our hearts all along. As she writes in chapter four: \"Our neurosis and our wisdom are made out of the same material. If you throw out your neurosis, you also throw out your wisdom.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"Wisdom of No Escape: And the Path of Loving-Kindness | Pema Chodron | Paperback | 9781611806052 | Used: Like New | Self-Help 1680535","offer_id":50799008186626,"sku":"1680535","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/91fN-l7FRHL.jpg?v=1792397481","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/wisdom-of-no-escape-and-the-path-of-loving-kindness","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
