Freedom to Choose Something Different and Living with Vulnerability: Essential Teachings of Pema Chödrön

In The Freedom to Choose Something Different, Pema Chödrön shares the liberating wisdom of an approach she uses in her personal daily practice and offers tools for disarming reactivity in our own lives.
