Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears Drawing on time-honored Buddhist teachings on all the attachments and compulsions that cause us suffering, Pema Chödrön shows how certain habits of mind tend to “hook†us and get us stuck in states of anger, blame, self-hatred, addiction, and shows us how we can liberate ourselves from them. She shares insights and exercises from her lifetime of practice that we can immediately put to use in our lives to awaken these essential qualities and help us to take a bold leap toward a new way of living—one that will bring about positive transformation for ourselves and for our troubled world.
