Getting Unstuck - Pema Chodron - Audio CD
Brand New (nevertheless shrink wrapped): 3 CDs
An urge comes up, we succumb with it, and it becomes stronger. We reinforce our cravings, behavior, and addictions by providing into them repeatedly. Pema Chödrön guides us through this "sticky feeling" and has us tools for understanding to remain with our uneasiness, soften our hearts toward others, and ourselves and reside a more peaceful existence in the fullness of the present time.

History
Pema Chödrön was born in New York City and graduated within the University of California at Berkeley. She earlier worked as an simple school instructor before converting to Buddhism.
Chödrön started to research with Lama Chime Rinpoche in the French Alps, and became a Buddhist nun in 1974 while studying with him in London. She initially met Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche in 1972, and at the urging of Lama Chime Rinpoche, she took him as her root guru. She studied with him constantly from 1974 until his death in 1987.
In 1984, Chödrön moved to Gampo Abbey, and became its director. There, she published her initial 2 books to popular important acclaim. In late 2005, Pema Chödrön published No Time to Lose, a commentary on Shantideva's Bodhisattva's Way of Life.
Pema has 2 kids and 3 grandchildren.
