Life has a way of provoking us with traffic jams and computer malfunctions, with emotionally distant partners and crying children—and before we know it, we're upset. We feel terrible, and then we end up saying and doing things that only make matters worse. But it doesn't have to be that way, says Pema Chödrön. It is possible to relate constructively to the inevitable shocks, losses, and frustrations of life so that we can find true happiness. The key, Pema explains, is not biting the "hook" of our habitual responses. In this recorded weekend retreat, Pema draws on Buddhist teachings from The Way of the Bodhisattva to reveal how we can:

   • stay centered in the midst of difficulty
   • improve stressful relationships
   • step out of the downward spiral of self-hatred
• awaken compassion for ourselves and others

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Pema Chödrön is an American Buddhist nun in the lineage of Chögyam Trungpa. She is resident teacher at Gampo Abbey in Nova Scotia, the first Tibetan monastery in North America established for Westerners. She is the author of many books and audiobooks, including the best-selling When Things Fall Apart and Don't Bite the Hook.

From AudioFile

In this production, recorded during a weekend retreat before a rapt audience, Buddhist nun Pema Chdrn teaches listeners about the value of patience and how to avoid biting the hook of habitual anger or defensiveness. Although shes speaking without a script, Chdrn is wonderfully articulate and never repetitive as she uses fresh, direct language. She is also a spiritual leader with a sense of humor; her intelligent voice and easy laugh make everything she has to say more inviting to consider, even when shes talking about new approaches that run counter to our human impulses for retaliation and self-protection. Her compassion, which appears to spring from deep self-knowledge, makes her reflections all the more compelling. J.C.G.

For me, this is Pema's best lecture. I was able to grasp her point and apply it to my own life. If you have trouble with anger, Pema offers some practical tips for how to get it under control. Namaste.

Words of Wisdom to Live By...

April 11, 2013

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Pema Chodron speaks to the challenges that face us in our daily lives so gracefully and with a lovely sense of humor that adds a brilliance and freshness to challenging topics. Whether a practicing Buddhist or not, the teachings here will help transform anyone's life if applied. I loved the quality of the audio which sometimes during live talks can be lost. I listened to each of the four cds at least four times each, and will certainly be listening to them again. There is so much depth in the talks that you can gain more and more insight with each listening. Perfect for the car and traveling. Thank you Pema for your wisdom, insight and humor... and thank you for challenging us to not bite the hooks! (And what to do when we find that we are already hooked.)

Excellent Guidance on Leading Your Life

August 19, 2010

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

This must be Pema's best work. She succinctly puts forth the Buddhist way of living your life -- but she brings it to the rest of us, who aren't Buddhists or nuns, just regular people trying to live a good life. She's very funny and insightful. This is the type of CD you want to listen to over and over again because there is such a wealth of great information -- too much to digest in just one sitting. I keep it on my iPod and in the car and listen to it often. Really really good stuff...

Can't get enough of it

January 31, 2014

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

The wisdom Pema shares in this cd is definitely the essence of personal happiness and serenity. She seems to have a real grasp of how she plugs into the universe and she has a handle on the difference between what we can/can't control in life. What makes Pema such a blessing to listen to though is the fact that she shares this wisdom so effortlessly and effectively. I listen to this cd over and over and relax into a wonderful place... Hopefully, if I listen to her enough, some small percentage of her wisdom will take hold and help me grow in the direction she has. Love it!!

A Renewing Gift of Peace

June 26, 2009

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

I have listened to these three Pema "tapes" (CDs) at home on my clock radio and in the car on the way to or from the school where I teach. I find that there is a noticeable, positive, more peaceful difference in the way I react to stress and others throughout the whole say on my Pema days. Others have started to notice. The middle school students I teach notice that I don't raise my voice as often. one of my buddhist students and one of my buddhist teacher friends honed in on the different energy levels when I had been listening to Pema before school. My niece, who is five years my junior noticed, too, and I let her listen to the "tapes." She is much calmer with her two small and energetic children and the things that used to get ehr riled with her husband dont' pack the same negative energy "punch." What she says about anger being an addiction we train ourself to beahve and feel over time rings so very true. It does, however, take training. i am so very glad to have these discs. They are such a lovely gift from Pema to us and from us to whoever we interact with ona daily basis.

Very boring

Boring. Doesn't really provide much self help. Provides some small amount of thought provoking subject matter. It's a recording of a live presentation. Not very engaging.
