Product Description
For many of us, feelings of deficiency are right around the corner. It doesn’t take much--just hearing of someone else’s accomplishments, being criticized, getting into an argument, making a mistake at work--to make us feel that we are not okay. Beginning to understand how our lives have become ensnared in this trance of unworthiness is our first step toward reconnecting with who we really are and what it means to live fully.
--from Radical Acceptance
Radical Acceptance
“Believing that something is wrong with us is a deep and tenacious suffering,” says Tara Brach at the start of this illuminating book. This suffering emerges in crippling self-judgments and conflicts in our relationships, in addictions and perfectionism, in loneliness and overwork--all the forces that keep our lives constricted and unfulfilled. Radical Acceptance offers a path to freedom, including the day-to-day practical guidance developed over Dr. Brach’s twenty years of work with therapy clients and Buddhist students.
Writing with great warmth and clarity, Tara Brach brings her teachings alive through personal stories and case histories, fresh interpretations of Buddhist tales, and guided meditations. Step by step, she leads us to trust our innate goodness, showing how we can develop the balance of clear-sightedness and compassion that is the essence of Radical Acceptance. Radical Acceptance does not mean self-indulgence or passivity. Instead it empowers genuine change: healing fear and shame and helping to build loving, authentic relationships. When we stop being at war with ourselves, we are free to live fully every precious moment of our lives.

 A finger pointing in the right direction August 1, 2010

 This is a wonderful book. July 24, 2010
Old Sole (Oregon)
I've been reading a few pages before I go to sleep at night. I am still surprised at how much comfort, calm, and peace the writing brings.
Clear, well written and powerful May 18, 2010
E. M. Sota (Austin, TX)
Written for the Western mind with clearly stated concepts and life examples. It lingers in the mind and creates for the reader a path towards the end of unnecesary suffering.
radically wonderful! May 17, 2010

This book could be entitled a user's manual for your life. The nature of the human condition is explained in a very understandable and compassionate way. I think it is written by a true healer. Even if you are not attracted to Buddhism as a practice or philosophy, be open to what this work has to offer. The meditations are very powerful. Directed meditation can accomplish leaps in your own healing work. Savor this book and allow your mind to open. It offers you a practical way to become your own best friend.
5 Stars (I never give 5 stars) May 12, 2010

How do you review a book that is so extremely useful and enjoyable? This is an extraordinary contribution to us, and we are the lucky ones who just happen to be around to benefit from it. This book is deeply transformative; wish I would have read it years ago.
