Abstract
Let compassion and fearlessness guide you and you?ll live wisely and effectively in good times and bad. But that's easier said than done.

This book presents fifty-nine pithy slogans from the lojong teachings for daily contemplation and includes Pema?s clear, succinct guidance on how to understand them?and how they can enrich our lives. It also features a forty-five minute downloadable audio program entitled Opening the Heart.

Abstract
Trauma and Recovery is revered as the seminal text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Harvard psychiatrist Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war.
Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud," Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how we heal and are healed.
