Are you looking for a book with concrete practices from mindfulness traditions to apply to your life right now? Then look no further than this month’s Book Therapy Pick. This Month’s Pick is The Places that Scare You: A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times By Pema Chodron.
This book has teachings, stories, and exercises from Buddhist traditions that can help you cultivate self-compassion, present moment awareness, and emotional resiliency. Whether you ascribe to Buddhism, the exercises can be beneficial.
