When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön

Tragedy happens, and when it does, it can be hard to find solace in anything (and from anyone, even your closest family and friends). In those truly dark moments, this is a book you'll want to have waiting on your shelf. Written by a Buddhist nun, the author encourages readers that it's possible to find wisdom, courage, and peace despite difficulties — that yes, good can come from bad, and in time, you'll be able to put the pieces back together.

$14, available at Shambhala Publications.
