Radical Acceptance

Embracing Your Life with the Heart of a Buddha

De: Tara Brach

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

"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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

" 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)

Give it a couple hours.

I almost returned it an hour in, but by the third hour it was changing my life, job and marriage for the better.

thanks Tara, I really needed this.

I'm going through a lot right now and this book is helping me in a lot of ways I needed.

I am so grateful I finally listened to it!!

The book came highly recommended by my therapist. I struggled with so many of the same narratives that Tara wrote and experinced. It gave me a new understanding of how I can go about taking life on and keeping focused on what is really going on. I learned skills that I can apply when I am doing that thing...or get that overwhelming sensation of it's happening again. I have struggled with some demons and finally was able to give it a name. Mara. I can now start to invite everything that once chained me and caused me to struggle to tea and be with it and converse. It may not make sense right now. But give it a listen. Open your mind and listen. I plan to relisten to it!

The narrator was very clear and gave a lot of life to the book (story line).

Do not let your fear of Buddha steer you away

I recommend this audio book to anyone struggling to see themselves as God sees them.

I’m thinking of buying a hard copy because the affirmations are so powerful that I would like have them at arms length to read and/or share with a friend.

Useful

Tons of helpful exercises and principles I haven't been introduced to til now, which was directly applicable to pieces of my life and beneficial. I'll definitely re-listen to this one.
