We feel terrible, and then we end up saying and doing things that only make matters worse. But it doesn't have to be that way, says Pema Chdrn. It is possible to relate constructively to the inevitable shocks, losses, and frustrations of life so that we can find true happiness. The key, Pema explains, is not biting the "hook" of our habitual responses.
