Narrator doesn't do Pema justice.

I have listened to many recordings of Pema's teaching. Her compassion, kindness, and non-judgmentalness comes through very clearly in her voice. Her voice alone makes me feel understood and safe. This narrator does the opposite of that. She adds judgmental inflections and tones where I really think Pema would not. It is really hard for me to get through listening to this. I don't want to return it bc the content is so good. I hope that anyone who listens to this also listens to some recordings of Pema's teachings so you can really catch her spirit.

Continue to learn

I’ve read Pema’s books for years, listening to them with the sleep timer is an extra bonus. I like to fall asleep thinking of positive messages with insight for personal growth.

This book is no exception- Pema teaches the important lessons of loving kindness and introspection without judgement.

So many fabulous metaphors! Loved this book!

I really enjoyed listening to this book and found the narrator's voice really calling but still engaging and found this to be a helpful book and I just finished the four agreements and I felt that there were some true similarities that made me enjoy this even more. I found all the metaphors that she gave in the book were helpful and enjoyable. Sometimes a metaphor just really sticks in my head and makes me understand things at a deeper level.

The narrator is fantastic. She brings the often gut wrenching message to life. Excellent author.

Beautifully simplistic

Being new to the subject of meditation and Buddhism I found this quite easier to read and understand than other endeavors I attempted. Highly recommended first introduction or quick refresher on the topics of meditation and Buddhism.

one of my favorites from Pema

Not only is the book amazing, I love how the voice talent sounds so much like Pema. I'm very picky about voices. It's like Pema is speaking. Very professional, and simply perfect! Thank you!

Simple yet difficult

I love the way Pema Chodron bring her experiences of these teachings from her own life and make them alive

Amazing insight

Food for the soul. Offers such insight as to how we can simply “be”. I am so thankful no found this recording. I know I will go back to it over and over and over again…

Pompous?

Found the book somewhat useful but dunno if it was the narrator or what but it felt like a fair dose of hot air as well.

Enjoyed this book

It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book by Pema and this was the first time I listened on audible. I very much enjoyed the content and Pema’s humor. I recommend this book.
