Unconditional Confidence (Unabridged‪)‬

This was exacty what I needed the du I downloaded it; I was dealing with some work-related anxiety and it really really helped.

The second half Q & A was interesting, but the narrator/interviewer's voice was horrible (literally painful) to listen to. She seemed as though she was trying to impress Chodron.

That said, the talk by Pema is one I will return to.

This is not a recording of Pema reading one of her books. It's a less than 50 minute talk she gives on the subject -- so it's quite short. The rest of the CD is an interview. So, not what I was looking for.

This recording is chalk full of useful guidance. It can be helpful even just to listen for a minute, picking a random part. Say you're on your way into a tough situation and you're feeling emotional, upset, angry. Give this a listen and your head will be in a better place. As for the interviewer, she is distracting, speaking in an affected manner with a breathy voice, although I'm sure she's a perfectly decent person.
