Story
On Getting Unstuck, Pema Chodron introduces a rare Tibetan teaching she received from her teacher, Dzigar Kontrul Rinpoche, and one that has become critical to her practice. Here, she unveils the mystery of an ineffable quality; a "pre-emotional" feeling that arises in us, brings us discomfort, and causes us to react by escaping the discomfort, often with harmful habits. With Getting Unstuck, she offers us a first look at "both the itch and the scratch": what Tibetan Buddhists call shenpa.

Story
Life has a way of provoking us with traffic jams and computer malfunctions, with emotionally distant partners and crying children - and before we know it, we're upset. We feel terrible, and then we end up saying and doing things that only make matters worse. But it doesn't have to be that way, says Pema Chödrön. It is possible to relate constructively to the inevitable shocks, losses, and frustrations of life so that we can find true happiness. The key, Pema explains, is not biting the "hook" of our habitual responses.

Here Pema provides the tools to deal with the problems and difficulties that life throws our way. This wisdom is always available to us, she teaches, but we usually block it with habitual patterns rooted in fear. Beyond that fear lies a state of openheartedness and tenderness. This audiobook teaches us how to awaken our basic goodness and connect with others, to accept ourselves and others complete with faults and imperfections, and to stay in the present moment by seeing through the strategies of ego that cause us to resist life as it is.

Spiritual practice, Pema Chödrön teaches, has nothing to do with self-improvement, since, as the course's title claims, you're already perfect right now. The limitless qualities of loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity are your deep-down, ultimate reality, and those are qualities that can't be improved upon. If you're not feeling particularly kind, compassionate, joyful, or equanimous at the moment, take heart: the Four Limitless Ones are there like seeds, waiting to be cultivated through practice.

We live in difficult times. Life so often seems like a turbulent river threatening to drown us and destroy our world. Why, then, shouldn’t we cling to the certainty of the comfortable - to our deep-seated habits and familiar ways? Because, Pema Chödrön teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more powerful experience of being fully alive.

Ancient insights for a Modern Audience
I’m not a Buddhist, and I’ve never really meditated. A few years back, however, a good friend gave me a book by Pema Chodron called, When Things Fall Apart. I loved it and found much of what the author had to say both interesting and helpful.
When I found more of her work on Audible, I dove in, thinking it would be something different and something perfect for audio. I was right. I’ve gone back and listened more than once and each time I learn something a little different. An American born Buddhist nun, Pema is uniquely attuned to a Western audience. She brings an authentic Buddhist perspective tailored to people like me.
These are speeches, or talks that the Author gave during a retreat. They were recorded live, so the quality is not as good as with a professional recorded and produced audiobook. There was no chance for the author to stop and start over, so it’s not perfect. Still, her voice itself and the skill she has in explaining these spiritual concepts are excellent. I’ve tried to listen to other meditation programs, thinking it would be an interesting audio experience, but this is the first I’ve been able to get all the way through. There is no hocus-pocus or uncomfortable chanting. Pema Chodron sounds like a normal woman, with great insight into these ancient ideas as reflected in today’s world. It’s a pleasure to listen to her.

Great
This is very long, but there is very little repetition of ideas. Her insights are amazing and so helpful. This audio has so much info that I will need to listen at least one more time. This is a recording of a retreat session, so there is a bit of an issue of recording quality, but it does not take away one bit from the quality of ideas being presented.

A Pleasant Listen with a Warm Personality
The Pema Chodron Audio Collection made for great listening to take the edge off the most hectic days. As the title implies, this collection is three lectures in one, all recorded live.
Lecture 1--Pure Meditation--discusses the fundamentals of meditation, becoming aware of our always-thinking mind, and coming to accept ourselves at face value. As Pema discusses, meditation serves five reasons: steadfastness with oneself, clear seeing, allowing the experience of emotional distress, and attention to the here and now.
Lecture 2--Good Medicine--focuses on maitri: unwavering self-acceptance. GM teaches how happiness lies not in the "seven dharmas" (pleasure/pain, praise/blame, etc.), and discusses the need to positively train your mind "like a dog," to constantly "stay" with you through good times and bad, and not have any self-aggression. This book also discusses the importance of compassion ("may others feel this happiness, and be relieved of pain"), and tonglen (using difficult or painful scenarios as a gateway to your own maitri). Perhaps my personal highlight was the discussion of elders often sheltering themselves within walls for safety, then becoming fearful of anything within the walls themselves. Ultimately, the "good medicine" discussed is the need to embrace life and all of its mortalities without fear.
Lecture 3--From Fear to Fearlessness discusses enlightenment, materialism, and "The Four Limitless Ones." To be enlightened is to be completely fearless and open to all emotions and thoughts. The "Lords of Materialism" (form, speech and mind) move people away from enlightenment. In contrast, the "Limitless Ones" consist of maitri (covered in Lecture 2), joy (the celebration of happiness in others), compassion (covered in Lecture 2) and equanimity (remaining balanced, not falling for the seven dharmas). Strategies are discussed on how you can pursue these qualities--and ultimately move closer to enlightenment--on your own (practice maitri by thinking of someone loved/neutral/despised; not clinging to emotions of pity or anxiety when someone else is in need).
Buddhist teachings like this title are so appealing to me because they are straightforward, self-centered, logical, challenging and appeal to the emotions. These recordings, while not the greatest quality, let Puma's warm personality come through. Enjoy.

Loved Pema's narration. Her voice is so warm, and she embodies the ease and humor in opening to the true nature of being that she teaches.
She relates personal stories that helped me understand the many concepts of these teachings. There are also guided meditations within the chapters.

A combination of 3 books into one
This is three of her books in one and will save you some dough.
I know people that follow Pema Chodron’s book like some people follow the bible. However, I don’t think they've ever heard her talk. In the first book (talk) she talks about recent to the events before the events of this talk like weeks before she talks about losing her mind with her granddaughter. She talks about how monks that are suppose to be these people in complete harmony with the world around them really aren't. She talks about learning to deal with this and why its hard even for the Buddhist masters. In the second book she talks about compassion for everyone. She goes into depth concerning tonglen meditation. Which I've tried and it’s very hard at first. It’s very powerful once you get the hang of it. It’s about changing our relationship with pain and pleasure. Why run from pain? Why embrace pleasure? What is the real difference? I learned that the difference between pain and pleasure is perception. And it’s not easy to see it. I learned in the third book that doing tonglen meditation is very helpful.

I don't know how to rate performance. She is not performing anything. She speaks from her years of being a Buddhist nun. There is no story.
It is our life's story that she enters into. I have read many books on Buddhism without really understanding what they were teaching.

I love Pema
I love listening to her and reading her books. But, this was a little different. It's not a book, it's a collection of teachings which means it doesn't read (or sound) like a book. The three teachings overlap each other so there is quite the duplication of content and over explanation. There is background noise and moments where Pema is working out what to say next.
Don't get me wrong, she's amazing and as a teaching series this is great. But it's not a book. It's not trying to be a book and I bought it as a book.
