The Places That Scare You
The Places That Scare You: A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times
Guide to fear and courage grounded in bodhichitta, the awakened heart. It sets out the four limitless qualities — love, compassion, joy and equanimity — and the practices for cultivating them, and describes how the ego's protective habits distance us from others. With When Things Fall Apart, it is her most widely read work.
