With insight and humor, Pema Chodron, author of The Wisdom of No Escape and When Things Fall Apart, presents down-to-earth guidance on how to make friends with ourselves and develop genuine compassion toward others. The author shows how we can "start where we are" by embracing rather than denying the painful aspects of our lives.

Working with these slogans and through the practice of meditation, Start Where You Are shows how we can all develop the courage to work with our own inner pain and discover joy, well-being, and confidence."

  • "Comienza donde estás es un manual imprescindible para cultivar nuestro espíritu intŕ́épido y despertar el corazón compasivo. Con lucidez y humor, Pema Chödrön, autora del best seller Cuando todo se derrumba, nos presenta una guía práctica de cómo hacernos amigos de nosotros mismos y desarrollar la aut́́éntica compasión hacia los demás. Nos muestra además que podemos "empezar allí donde estamos", abrazando los aspectos dolorosos de nuestras vidas en lugar de negarlos. Pema Chödrön enmarca sus enseñanzas sobre la compasión en torno a cincuenta y nueve máximas o eslóganes recogidos de la tradición budista tibetana, como: "Mant́́én siempre y únicamente una mente alegre." "No busques en el dolor de otros tu propia felicidad." "Medita siempre sobre aquello que te provoca resentimiento." "Sí́éntete agradecido a todos." Trabajando con estas máximas, y mediante la práctica de la meditación, Comienza donde estás nos muestra cómo todos podemos tener la valentía de afrontar y trabajar con nuestro dolor interno y lograr cultivar la alegría, el bienestar y la confianza."
