    About this audiobook

    This audiobook by Pema Chödrön, the renowned American Buddhist nun, offers short, stand-alone sections designed to help us cultivate compassion and awareness amid the challenges of daily living. More than a collection of thoughts for the day, Comfortable with Uncertainty offers a progressive program of spiritual study, leading the reader through essential concepts, themes, and practices on the Buddhist path.

    Comfortable with Uncertainty does not assume prior knowledge of Buddhist thought or practice, making it a perfect introduction to Chödrön's teachings on lovingkindness, meditation, mindfulness, "nowness," letting go, and working with fear and other painful emotions. Through the course of this audiobook, listeners will learn practical methods for heightening awareness and overcoming habitual patterns that block compassion.

      My go-to book, by my go-to author for whenever I need a boost. I feel understood, cared for and not alone in my experience ...and journey.
    • 5/5
      I usually prefer listening to Pema reading, but the woman who reads this book is the next best thing. Very rich material. I could listen to it several times and gain new insights each time.
