"Beautiful and Inspiring from my Fav Ani Pema" according to Tom Whitlock. This wonderful little gem of a book also includes an inspiring and clever foreword by marketing guru and genius Seth Godin. It seems the world at large has also discovered Pema Chodron as one of our most wise and heartfelt teachers. Failure is something everyone recoils from and we've been taught from childhood that success is the opposite of failure and not an option in our system. Pema teaches us to embrace Failure as a spiritual path that leads to future success, equanimity, open-heartedness, compassion, and love.

This short meditation (I read it in a single sitting) from Ani Pema has helped me pull out of a major depression and face the problems at hand with grace and peace, to stay with the pain and not be so hard on myself.I don't feel this is overstating things but it saved my life..
