We always have a choice, Pema Chödrön teaches: We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us and make us increasingly resentful and afraid—or we can let them soften us and make us kinder. Here Pema provides the tools to deal with the difficulties that life throws our way so we can:
• wholeheartedly accept ourselves and others, complete with imperfections
• stay in the present moment by seeing through strategies that cause us to resist life as it is
.
