#BookReview for "When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times" by Pema Chodron
NOT recommended
Trite, stale
People should be grateful to suffer? Ick.
Cult red flags: give valuable possessions to your teacher. Vow to never stop following the teacher, no matter what they do. Suggestion to give up all worldly possessions.
No evidence for claims
Boundless compassion - with no talk of boundries
Hints of moral relativism, "recovered" memories, "race riots" are because people aren't chill.
