The Buddha and the Borderline  is a window into this mysterious and debilitating condition, an unblinking portrayal of one woman's fight against the emotional  devastation of borderline personality disorder. This haunting, intimate  memoir chronicles both the devastating period that led to Kiera's eventual diagnosis and her inspirational recovery through therapy, Buddhist spirituality, and a few online dates gone wrong. Kiera's story  sheds light on the private struggle to transform suffering into compassion for herself and others, and is essential reading for all  seeking to understand what it truly means to recover and reclaim the desire to live.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304033562997,"sku":"9781572247109","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781572247109.jpg?v=1762795385","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781572247109","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
