Book club - dont bite the hook

Hi everyone! Today we’re talking about Don’t Bite the Hook by Pema Chödrön — a short but powerful guide on how to deal with anger and emotional triggers.

Chödrön introduces the concept of “shenpa,” that sticky feeling when we get hooked by emotions like irritation, fear, or resentment. Her main message? We don’t have to react. We can pause, notice what’s happening, and choose a different response.

It’s not about ignoring our feelings — it’s about breaking the cycle of reactivity and finding clarity in tough moments.

Let’s open it up:
• What part stuck with you?
• Have you noticed your own “hooks”?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts
