When Things Fall Apart: by Pema Chödrön
When Things Fall Apart is a collection of talks offering wisdom for navigating pain, uncertainty, and personal upheaval. Pema Chödrön, an American Buddhist nun in the Tibetan tradition, draws on Buddhist teachings to share practical ways of transforming suffering into growth and calm. The book emphasizes meditation, mindfulness, and learning to embrace “groundlessness” as a path to inner peace.
