When everything collapses

One of the basic statements of Buddhism is that there are ways to contentment and lasting happiness for every human being. In her book, the Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön shows very pragmatic ways of freeing oneself from suffering. Her advice is sometimes provocatively direct and invites the reader to venture into the wide field of his difficulties with curiosity. Chödrön encourages the reader with a frank description of her own painful experiences and the confident message that serenity can be learned. The arduous journey is rewarded with the realization that happiness and contentment correspond to the true nature of man.
