When Things Fall Apart

Pema Chödrön's perennially bestselling classic on overcoming life's difficulties cuts to the heart of spirituality and personal growth. In this new volume, Pema lovingly shows readers how they can become intimate with suffering of all kinds—including their own—and in so doing open their hearts in ways beyond anything they ever could have imagined. This 20th anniversary edition also includes a new afterword from the author, offering insights into ancient Buddhist teachings and offering tips for how we can find serenity and joy in our daily lives.
