Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears

Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears

Learn to free yourself from destructive habits and live a life of courage and compassion with these heart-to-heart teachings from "one of the world's wisest women" (O, the Oprah Magazine).

Ever feel trapped in the same old habits and painful emotions time and time again? These are patterns we all face, and sometimes they feel impossible to shake. So how can we get unstuck? Drawing on time-honored Buddhist teachings on shenpa (all the attachments and compulsions that cause us suffering), Pema ChÃ¶drÃ¶n shows how certain habits of mind tend to â€œhookâ€ us and get us stuck in states of anger, blame, self-hatred, addiction, and so much moreâ€”and, most of all, how we can liberate ourselves from them. â€œThis path entails uncovering three basic human qualities,â€ explains Pema. â€œThey are natural intelligence, natural warmth, and natural openness. Everyone, everywhere, all over the globe, has these qualities and can call on them to help themselves and others.â€ Pema 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 livingâ€”one that will bring about positive transformation for ourselves and for our troubled world.
