What is the author's tone in The Places That Scare You: A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times by Pema Chodron?

The book is written in a pedagogical style, and is addressed to all of humanity, including the author. She therefore uses the collective pronoun in her teachings. This gives the book a sense of a journey that "we" are taking together and underlines one of her central thrusts, that the concept of separate egos is flawed. She makes the training something that we all must do together as we read the book.
