The Tibetan Book of the Dead

Shambhala Audio, 2008
Fremantle-Trungpa's full translation (not included) finally recited
This supersedes an earlier version that paired a blue-covered "pocket" condensation of the TBoD with a shorter audiotape. While the added material may overwhelm a first-time student of this daunting text, here's some suggestions for how to get the most out of this tape. Read the book first, study its commentary, and then you'll benefit more from hearing it in this eloquent presentation. No book, ...
Don't Bite the Hook: Finding Freedom from Anger, Resentment, and Other Destructive Emotions

Pema Chodron
Shambhala Audio, 2007
Philosophy delivered in common sense style
Pema Chodron explains the Buddhist philosophy in this as well as her many other CDs in a clear, relevant manner with just the right touch of humor relating to the human condition. She has mastered the philosophy, yet her modesty lets the listener know that she has been where we listeners often are. Easier to absorb than reading, for me, and a lot more fun. A great way to clear the mind at ...
The Places That Scare You: A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times

Pema Chodron
Shambhala Audio, 2008
Calming, inspiring reminder...
I love listening to this tape. I put it on and start it over again when it is done. I find it totally inspiring to listen to the writing of this wise Buddhist monk. My only criticism is that the woman who reads the book (beautiful voice, by the way). She pronounces the word "strength" omitting the 'g' sound. This was horribly annoying to me. I grew up pronouncing the 'g' and it sounds ...

PEMA CHODRON READER HERE
PEMA CHODRON WAS THE DOOR I TRAVELED THROUGH TO GET INTO BUDDHISM. I BELIEVE I NOW OWN ALL THAT SHE HAS RECORDED ON CD'S AND AUDIOBOOKS. I WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH FOR EVERYTHING NEW SHE WRITES.
Siddhartha: A New Translation
462 reviews
Hermann Hesse
Shambhala Audio, 2008
Great
Siddhartha, a bildungsroman by Herman Hesse, first published in 1922, is simply one of the greatest books ever written. I say that not because I agree with its essential philosophy (which is problematic in some of its over-simplicity), a predisposition that far too often accounts for why critics recommend or do not recommend a work of art, but because it is the embodiment of one of the oldest ...

A breeath of fresh air
This book is quite enlightening. I can forsee reading many more of Chodron's books.
The Art of War
Sun Tzu
Shambhala Audio, 2008
Click here to listen to an audio sample online in MP3 format. Compiled more than two thousand years ago by a mysterious warrior-philosopher, The Art of War is still perhaps the most prestigious and influential book of strategy in the world. As a study of the anatomy of organizations in conflict, The Art of War applies to competition and conflict in general, on every level from the interpersonal to the international. Its aim is invincibility, ...
Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships: A Workshop on Healing the Wound of the Heart
28 reviews
John Welwood
Shambhala Audio, 2007
Success again.
As a psychotherapist with 30 years experience, who works with couples, I consider this book to be one of the best for therapists of all levels of training. My colleagues and I agree that the best way to use this book is to savor its contents, digesting the lessons slowly, perhaps even reading sections to clients. Welwood is a gifted writer,centered in his psychospiritual approach without ...
Making Love Last: How to Sustain Intimacy and Nurture Genuine Connection
David Richo
Shambhala Audio, 2008
Relationships often begin with openness and heartfelt connection, but over time this connection can be lost among miscommunication, a lack of mutual support, and a loss of affection. But love can last, says David Richo, and in this dynamic workshop he shows us how.In encouraging terms, Richo reveals how we can strengthen our relationships using two basic approaches: using Western psychotherapy, we can identify self-defeating patterns in our ...
When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times

Shambhala Audio, 2007
Pema Chodron Shines
This book is written for those who don't necessarily indentify as Buddhists, and/or don't practice Buddhist doctrines. That being said, this is a book that has helped many fledling Buddhists come to understand how the mind works, how one can tame the ego, and make friends with all of our thoughts, negative and positive. She teaches in the tradition of the Shambhala Warrior, a path laid out by ...
The Mindful Leader: Ten Principles for Bringing Out the Best in Ourselves and Others
2 reviews
Shambhala Audio, 2007
This book will save your life... or at least make you a great leader!
Reading Michael Carroll's book and attending his weekend retreat earlier this year turned around my attitude at the office, prepared me well for several looming crises at work, and nearly saved my life. His book Mindful Leadership is essential for anyone trying to lead successfully in today's world of information overload, anti-rationalism, and blind decision-making. It is equally helpful for a ...

Ken Wilber
Shambhala Audio, 2008
amazed at wilber's ability to turn the dense lucid
wilber is worth all the hype: he is a true pioneer of the emerging phase of planetary evolution. this book is a great primer. here he masterfully weaves multiple threads from hugely diverse sources; from science to mysticism, from history to philosophy. the result is stunningly precise thoughts yet infused with moments of poetical flares, and a myriad of insights! at ...
Practicing Peace in Times of War: A Buddhist Perspective

Pema Chodron
Shambhala Audio, 2006
A little classic of straight-talking compassion
Choderon's books keep getting shorter and clearer. Here she gives a little classic of straight-talking compassion. In a world obsessed with finding security she speaks of living with "positive insecurity". In a simple, honest way she demonstrates how to culivate our own peace step by step, and why it matters so much: "If we arn't training inch by inch, one moment at a time, in overcoming our ...
Teresa of Avila: The Book of My Life

Mirabai Starr
Shambhala Audio, 2007
A Spiritual Gem for the 21st Century
Mirabai Starr's review makes Teresa of Avila come alive for the twenty-first century spiritual seeker. Faithfulness to spiritual teachers of the past requires us to hear their voices in the language and images that they would use were they alive today as well as the voice of their own time. The Book of My Life is an invitation to the reader to explore the book of her or his own life and ...
It's Up to You: The Practice of Self-Reflection on the Buddhist Path
8 reviews
Dzigar Kongtrul
Shambhala Audio, 2006
The Essence of Buddhist Practice
Of the several books I have read on Buddhism this is one of the best. In a very clear and simple, yet profound manner, Dzigar Kongtrul shares his wisdom illuminating some very complex principles of the practice of dharma. I have gained a great deal studying this book and reflecting upon my own conceptions on the dharma as well as my thinking on the ego, suffering and the purpose and place for ...

Carl Gustav Jung
Shambhala Audio, 1991
Intensity-his mind was flooded with profound ideas
This book is sublime, a GEM. In his subjective view of the world -"with half closed eyes and somewhat closed ears, to see and hear the form and voice of being" he arrived at an inspiring insight about life: supreme meaning of being can consist only in the fact that is,not that it is not or is no longer; nature, the mystery of love, the psyche, life, human beings, a state of lively contemplation ...

Shantideva

This masterpiece has moved me deeply and set my feet on the path of a Bodhisattva. Shantideva moves the reader through the stages and provides inspiration to stay on the Path.
The Wisdom of No Escape: And the Path of Loving-Kindness
25 reviews
Pema Chodron
Shambhala Audio, 2008
Very practical, accessible and well-written....
This is one of my favorite books by Pema Chodron. It not only does a very good job of describing the essence of Buddhism, but it goes beyond that in making Tibetan Buddhism more understandable and relevant to a Western audience without deveating from the tradition. In short, it contains the heart of the teachings of the Vajrayana. A nice complimentary book if you are interested in going deeper ...
Ruling Your World: Ancient Strategies for Modern Life

Sakyong Mipham
Shambhala Audio, 2007
The Lineage of Shambhala From Father to Son
The son of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Sakyong Mipham who is the lineage holder for the Shambhala world his father revealed, is able to freshly express this royal path. The "crazy wisdom" taste of Trungpa isn't here but is wonderfully matched by the gentle, loving and compassionate clarity of the Sakyong. This is a short book that is very easy to read and reflect upon. The chapters are short and ...

Pema Chodron
Shambhala Audio, 2008
Beautiful book
I truly enjoyed this book as it awakened a sense of compassion for myself and others, with insight and humor Pema Chodron guided me to a state of joy, and well being. I also discovered the 59 traditional Tibetan Buddhist maxims and was able to relate them to every day life. This book reminded me of one of my favorite authors, Ariel and Shya Kane and their book Being Here: Modern Day Tales of ...
