Publisher's Note
"Start Where You Are" is an indispensable handbook for cultivating fearlessness and awakening a compassionate heart. With insight and humor, Pema Chodron 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"--embracing rather than denying the painful aspects of our lives. Pema Chodron frames her teachings on compassion around 59 traditional Tibetan Buddhist maxims, or slogans--such as "Always apply only a joyful state of mind" or "Always meditate on whatever provokes resentment". 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.

With insight and humor, the author of The Wisdom of No Escape presents down-to-earth teachings on how we can work with our own suffering as well as with the suffering of others. This is only possible, says the author, if we "start where we are" and embrace the painful aspects of our lives.
