In When Things Fall Apart, Pema Chödrön offers profound insight into how we can navigate life when everything feels like it’s falling apart—when fear, anxiety, and pain overwhelm us. Contrary to what we might expect, Chödrön suggests that the path to healing often lies in moving toward our suffering rather than avoiding it. By embracing and becoming intimate with painful situations, we open our hearts in ways we never thought possible.
Drawing from traditional Buddhist wisdom, When Things Fall Apart presents transformative tools for turning suffering and negative patterns into opportunities for growth, ease, and lasting joy. Through her compassionate guidance, Chödrön shows how we can shift our relationship with hardship, learning to embrace the challenges of life rather than be consumed by them.
