When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chödrön
3.0
From the Chodron books I have read, this one has been my least favorite.
I did gather some great quotes from the book.
“We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.”
"Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us."
"If you want to see what has brought you to this point, look at your past thoughts and actions. If you want to see your future, look at your present thoughts and actions."
