Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:It’s true, as they say, that we can only love others when we first love ourselves and we can only experience real joy when we stop running from pain. The key to understanding these truisms lies in remaining open to life in all circumstances, and here Pema Chödrön shows us how. Because when we embrace the happiness and suffering, intelligence and confusion that are a natural part of life, we can begin to discover a wellspring of courageous love within our hearts.
4 CDs, 4 ½ hours. Unabridged. Synopsis:Pema Chodron's first and most accessible book, The Wisdom of No Escape, teaches about the importance of saying yes to life in all its manifestations.

In short chapters with titles such as Taking a Bigger Perspective, Not Too Tight, Not Too Loose, and Joy, Pema Chodron presents traditional Buddhist wisdom that everyone can relate to.
