Comfortable with Uncertainty
by Pema Chodron
One hundred and eight short teachings drawn from Chodron's other books, arranged for daily reading: groundlessness, maitri, tonglen, the three lords of materialism, hope and fear. It is the easiest entry into her work and a useful bedside book for anxious times.
Read it if…
you want a page a day of steady wisdom about living without certainty.
Skip it if…
you have her other books; this is excerpts.
Three things you will actually use
- Groundlessness is the condition; relax into it.
- Hope and fear are one coin; drop both.
- Maitri: unconditional friendliness toward yourself.
Do this first
Read one entry each morning and reread it at night.
Our verdict
Accessible and calming.
