Drawing from her own experiences with marriage, divorce, motherhood, and more, Pema reveals that when we embrace the happiness and heartache, the inspiration and confusionall the twists and turns that are part of natural lifewe can begin to discover a true wellspring of courageous love thats been within our hearts all along. As she writes in chapter four: Our neurosis and our wisdom are made out of the same material. If you throw out your neurosis, you also throw out your wisdom.
