I loved this program because, even though one of her latest, it brings in basics and believe me, we need to come back to basics all the time. That is how we get our grounding. Also, the way she brings us to basics is unique in the way she presents it this time. I suspect the basic for Pema grows, transforms and holographs as she herself transforms through her inner work.
Any work for Pema is 100% endorsed by me because it is easy to understand and the more your listen to it, the deeper in sinks in because of its depth. I recommend that you listen to any of her CD's over and over and go back when you miss something until you feel you absorbed the whole thing. Then one feels complete and happy! :)
