Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin. 

Even when we cannot see the gold, the light and love of our true nature cannot be dimmed, tarnished or erased.

Within us all is an innate purity, our gold, that we too often learn to hide and doubt as we navigate the troubles of daily life. We lose touch with our innocence, creativity and tender hearts, as we seek the approval of others and determine our self-worth based on the judgements of those around us.

In this beautiful book, beloved meditation teacher and author Tara Brach teaches us how to uncover our gold and let our true nature shine out with love, kindness and spirit. Tara reveals how we can strip back the layers of doubt and fear that hold us back and learn to trust the pure awareness, love and basic goodness that live deep in our hearts.

Beautiful and inspiring words of wisdom.

Soothing, inspiring and enlightening, "Trusting the Gold" was the perfect ending to my reading adventures of 2022. Tara Brach offers wisdom, compassion and inspiration for self-reflection and re-evaluation. The book felt like a warm hug I didn't know I needed and helped me look at this past year and my failures and victories from new perspectives.
