"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 20 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.

What the critics say

" Radical Acceptance offers gentle wisdom and tender healing, a most excellent medicine for our unworthiness and longing. Breathe, soften, and let these compassionate teachings bless your heart." (Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart)

foundational reading for a meditation practice. draws on multiple lineages and tradtions, mostly but not solely Buddhist. could certainly "take what you like and leave the rest", meaning, wisdom is wisdom---irregardless of what tradition it arise from. many possibilities to take the seeds Brach gifts us with and plant them in gardens of all spiritual traditions.

I have spent my whole life searching for holy Grail of mind management - and this might be it. The micro-meditations and techniques in this book are mind-blowing. I have tested them - and it catapulted me to a different level of energy and awareness. The techniques have a very different angle from anything I have read. For example: talking to your feelings, body tension and problems, talking to your heart, healing yourself first, forgiving yourself before you forgive others, skillful speech. Thank you Tara!

Mind management and Buddhism at it’s best
