Comfortable with Uncertainty: 108 Teachings on Cultivating Fearlessness and Compassion by Pema Chödrön
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Not quite what I was expecting, but nevertheless good. One hundred and eight micro-chapters, each about two pages long, with a short explication of Buddhism from Chödrön’s perspective. Buddhism and Stoicism have some interesting parallels. In some respects they each start from the same place and reach some of the same conclusions. It’s their tenor that is so strikingly different. Something like the difference between acceptance and resignation.

Many of Albert Ellis’s (psychologist) books have drawn parallels between stoicism and buddhism too. Interesting.
Oh, interesting, thanks for the reference!
