Dont Believe Everything You Think

Don’t Believe Everything You Think: Living with Wisdom and Compassion is an accessible commentary on the classic Tibetan text The Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas by Gyalsay Togme Sangpo. Drawing on decades of teaching, Venerable Thubten Chodron explains how each verse can be applied to everyday situations—difficult people, anger, jealousy, self-criticism, and discouragement—so readers can transform old habits and respond with clarity and compassion. Interwoven first-person stories from students show how these practices helped them let go of hopelessness and self‑deprecating thoughts, making the book a practical guide for Buddhists and non‑Buddhists seeking a more meaningful, wise, and open-hearted life.
