by Pema Chodron

Shambhala | April 8, 2008 | Mass Market Paperbound

This book by the renowned American Buddhist nun offers short, stand-alone readings designed to help us cultivate compassion and awareness amid the challenges of daily living.

More than a collection of thoughts for the day, Comfortable with Uncertainty offers a progressive program of spiritual study, leading the reader through essential concepts, themes, and practices on the Buddhist path.

    An inspirational book

    Peter Davies

    6 years ago

    A wonderful, inspirational book. It consists of a series of very short chapters (1-2 pages) that provide great food for thought. All the chapters revolve around a similar theme but are written in such a way that each offers a fresh perspective. For those familiar with Buddhist thought this book provides a valuable reminder about the essence of Buddhism without the bells and whistles.

"Chödrön's radical words of wisdom unlock doors and shine warm light into the darkness of human cynicism and despair."-Utne Reader

"Chödrön''s voice is gently humorous, always kind, and seemingly infinitely wise."-L.A. Times
