When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times
A Shambhala 20th-anniversary paperback of Pema Chödrön's 1997 guide to sitting with difficulty rather than solving it. Chödrön, an American Buddhist nun, writes in short, direct chapters about fear, heartbreak, and the usefulness of leaning toward pain instead of away from it. The Shambhala edition is compact, with the calm design the press reserves for books that expect to be carried around and reread in bad moments. Ideal reader: the reader who has run out of inspirational slogans and wants something more bracing, or the meditator who needs permission to feel awful without making it a project.
