Editorial Review:
In the same tradition as such bestselling authors as Jack Kornfield and Sharon Salzberg, Insight Meditation teacher Tara Brach has cultivated one of the largest and most active Buddhist meditation communities in the eastern United States. With Radical Self-Acceptance, this gifted guide brings her enthusiasm and depth of experience to a wide new arena of listeners for the first time. "Imagine what it would be like to be without anxiety about your imperfections," begins Brach. Employing her skills in two worlds, this clinical psychologist and meditation instructor takes on what she considers to be the most difficult - and pervasive - challenge to Westerners today: the suffering caused by our feelings of unworthiness and deficiency. Here, Brach teaches the specific practices we need to become more mindful and compassionate toward the "unforgivable" parts within ourselves - and how to free ourselves from "the prison of shame and self-aversion." Practical and supportive, Radical Self-Acceptance marks the debut of one of the most capable new voices today on the marriage between Eastern meditation and Western psychology.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Radical self-acceptance for all
Radical Self-Acceptance is a lovely guide to healing and bringing understanding and acceptance to all areas of life, from a buddist perspective. Not only will it bring healing to those listening to it, but to all beings. For when one person's energy shifts, it has the ripple effect on all those that are connected. We are all one. Peace and enjoy this gentle healing journey.
Rating: - Excellent
A very good personal develpment aid. Integrates a psychodynamic, buddhist and humanistic approach. As a psychiatric nurse I work hard to provide groups for people who are looking for ways forward and feel desolate and lost. This CD helps me live and helps me help others too.
Rating:  - Excellent solution for problem of self hatred
Lot of people suffer from self hatred inspite of so much material progress..The refreshing and stimulating approach of Tara sees the fundamental problem of suffering. It offers great approach to NOT rate the Self and 'accept things the way they are' without judgement. Then we are better equiped to not hate ourselves. Self-improvement is myth although behaviour can be altered with acceptance.
Contemporary approach worth listening to for problem of self-hatred by Buddhist Psychologist.
Rating: - Tara's Vision
Tara's gentle, soothing voice makes this a great CD to own. The companion book, Radical Acceptance, teaches the wisdom of understanding the self and appreciating the present.
Rating: - Radical Self Acceptance
This book is brilliantly written by a therapist with great depth and kindness. As a Buddhist for over 20 years I applaud her presentation of Buddhist beliefs and as a person training to be a psychotherapist, she has given me lofty goals. My meditation practice will be far stronger.
Thank you Tara for sharing so much of your heart....wonderful job.
