Comfortable with Uncertainty: 108 Teachings on Cultivating Fearlessness and Compassion by Pema Chödrön
5.0
I don't feel like I can write useful reviews for people (and even for myself looking back on them) about Pema Chödrön's books. Simply, she speaks to me. The way she talks about things are accessible and make sense to my brain. I've yet to encounter one of her books that's bad.
This one is unique in that it is made up of 108 small chapters -- 1-2 pages each, is that even considered a chapter? -- from her other books. This is neither a substitute nor a summary of them, but it really feels like a whole different thing. I think this opinion comes from the fact that I don't remember things very well after I read them AND I mentally benefit from always having a zen-like book in my current reading rotation, so I don't mind this situation.
