I just finished this. Already know I'm going to reread it multiple times. This was my first book by Pema. The title says it all. I've been confused and left feeling like I just can't grasp a lot of teachings before. This was delightful and I think I just might have a shot. Her tone and relatability is a welcome reminder that we are all human. With the same feelings.
I took a photo of page 1. The line that snapped my head up in understanding is, " You can feel like the world's most hopeless basket case, but that feeling is your wealth, not something to be thrown out or improved upon."

Slogans, koans, a 12-step program that rails against 12-step programs. Chödrön always has much to say, but I felt constricted by the format she chose for this book. The structure seemed stifling. But that's me today. I'll try this one again in a few years, and until then will just reread a few of her others.
