The key to understanding these truisms is simple but not easy: we must learn to open ourselves up to life in all its manifestations. Here, spiritual teacher and \u003ci\u003eWhen Things Fall Apart\u003c\/i\u003e author Pema Ch dr n presents a uniquely practical approach to doing just that, showing us the true value in having \"no escape\" from the ups and downs of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from her own experiences with marriage, divorce, motherhood, and more, Pema reveals that when we embrace the happiness and heartache, the inspiration and confusion--all the twists and turns that are part of natural life--we can begin to discover a true wellspring of courageous love that's been within our hearts all along.
