Chellis Glendenning addresses a collective need for recovery. One particularly important topic in the book is Techno-Addiction and how it leads to the process of non-living. “the prevalence of defensiveness about our society’s obsessions stands as stark evidence of denial” Rating: for healing Lessons learned: detach, question societal ideals, be brave Practicing Peace in Times of War by Pema Chodron is truly a gift to read in our chaotic and violent times. Many of us are left feeling vulnerable and frustrated. Through Buddhist teachings, Pema reminds us to pause. She believes that peace starts with the individual by transforming our personal habits. "it’s very helpful to take some kind of personal vow… [for] when that uneasiness arises and everything in you wants to close your heart and mind and go on automatic pilot and do the thing that you always hate yourself for doing” Rating: for restoring peace Lessons learned: be kind to others, be kind to yourself, pause before reacting, ditch attachment, be patient, be honest
