Radical Self-Acceptance

By: Tara Brach

The Practice of Self-Acceptance, Taught by a Buddhist Clinical Psychologist...

How would your life change if you genuinely accepted yourself, just the way you are? According to Dr. Tara Brach, feelings of shame and unworthiness are the source of many problems we experience with our relationships, careers, creative endeavors, and most fundamentally, our spiritual unfolding.

On Radical Self-Acceptance, this respected clinical psychologist and Buddhist meditation teacher shows you how to free yourself from the grip of your insecurities about being "good enough." With insights from both Eastern contemplative traditions and Western psychotherapies, Dr. Brach guides you through a full program of meditations and skills you need to become more compassionate toward the "unforgivable" parts of your self.

As Dr. Brach says, the most difficult - and pervasive - challenge to Westerners today is the suffering caused by our feelings of unworthiness and self-aversion. Radical Self-Acceptance offers a way to break out of this emotional prison, so you can discover the freedom that comes with kindness and true appreciation of yourself and others.

i listen to it daily<br />

You will look deeper at yourself

Each time the author led us through a mediation I was surprised where I was taken. Some of the area's I was taken I was thought I had let go of long ago. Now I know I still had attachment to those moments. I did the complete meditations where the author took us through these moments then through how to see them, realize them and finally let them go. I found this as a deep book which allowed me to see myself as I truly am. I will listen to this again and probably again later. There is much more here than the meditations. There is much wisdom here as well, so get comfortable when the author asks you to and see where it takes you!

I love the meditations!

Tara has a special way to guide you thru meditation. I definitely enjoyed this audio book

Acceptance of self and all

I loved Tara's loving and compassionate voice, her presence and calming serenity of this book. The content, meditations and reflections left me with an open heart and remembrance of all I am. And also, allowance of what is: the pain and the pleasure. Especially loved the last part of extending the spiritual practice into community. Thank you.

Hope and kindness

Tara’s book and voice have comforted me and brought me to a place that I can now embrace and shift my self criticism habits.
Thank you Tara.

Extremely Helpful

Extremely helpful in understanding a a child’s pain… and discovering my own.
This writing is insightful to the core of why we can grow by looking inward to help those in front of us within our own family and then extending this kindness to the world.
Major breakthrough in parenting and forgiveness.
