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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e--from \u003ci\u003eRadical Acceptance\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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\u003ci\u003e Radical Acceptance. Radical Acceptance\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bantam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780553380996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Tara Brach","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36638753128604,"sku":"9780553380996","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b4572ee8-7d9e-4b52-8d6e-a815312e0e47.jpg?v=1603848090","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/radical-acceptance-embracing-your-life-with-the-heart-of-a-buddha-9780553380996","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
