This book came to me at a time when I was struggling to find purpose and move with the changes. I found myself at the Shambala Book Tent at Glastonbury Festival looking for answers, and this book called to me. Chodron helped me to reframe how I was seeing things negatively and instead use them as an opportunity for growth. I also found solace in the Buddhist doctrines as a way to ground myself when I felt pulled in so many directions of hedonism and blurred morals at University.
