One of the most inspiring spiritual teachers of our time offers simple, practical advice for living with less fear, less anxiety and a more open heart. Bought in a hotly contested auction, The Places That Scare You is now available in massmarket, taking Pema Chdrn s spiritual teachings to a wider audience. We always have a choice, Pema Chdrn teaches: we can either let the circumstances of our lives harden us and make us increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and make us kind. This unique book shows us how to awaken our basic goodness and connect to others. In her lively, contemporary voice, Chdrn translates the wisdom of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition for the layperson. Her wisdom cuts across all traditions and religions appealing to everyone from the Dalai Lamas followers to ordinary people trying to make sense of their lives. This title has gone straight onto the bestseller lists in the USA, where it has just been published. Recently profiled in Oprahs O magazine, Pema Chdrn is a spiritual teacher for anyone whether they have a spiritual path or not. Her heartfelt advice and wisdom (developed in her 20 years of practice as a Tibetan Buddhist nun as well as her years previously as a normal housewife and mother) give her a wide appeal. Particularly in these difficult times, this advice strikes just the right note, offering us comfort and challenging us to live deeply and contribute to creating a more loving world.

It's short, and so beautifully written that the reading is a pleasure speaks to people of all religious persuasions. The clearsighted practicality of Chdrn's approach to the practice of meditation is a persuasive introduction to its benefits in our daily lives. Her voice is , understanding, gently humorous, always kind and seemingly infinitely wise. The LA Times As one of Pema Chdrns grateful students, I have been learning the most pressing and necessary lesson of all: how to keep opening wider my own heart. Alice Walker It is a lively and accessible take on ancient techniques for transforming terror and pain into joy and compassion. O, the Oprah Winfrey magazine
