Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha

I haven't quite finsihed the book yet but I can already say for sure that this is one of the most helpful books I ever held in my hands. It is completely different from what I expected- entirely different from the usual books that aim to teach you self-confidence and self-acceptance. I have been practising meditation for a while and read a bit about Buddhism but Tara gives a very practical approach and gives real-life examples. I find that every page is abundant in information. I also realised how I might have misunderstood some aspects of Buddhism. The insight I gained has been very revealing, relieving and given me some of the freedom that is so often talked about in the Buddhist teachings.

listening to this got me through a tough bout of umitigated rage, its a big help, and brings you up a good few levels, big help with rage fear and hatred, its not so bad, we all get it, in fact its that hell you have to get through to get to heaven, it helped me to understand its all just a part of the show, accept it all, its all there is, nobodys infallable, as we are all finding out

This book is a great comfort in my life and the author simplifies things by relating to her own experiences which makes me realise that we all have our pains and sufferings, and tells us of the importance of the the present (the gift!!) moment to acquire realisation of what is going on behind our own front doors.

I haven't finished the book yet but I am finding it very interesting.

Life changing book, relevant and and easy to read without being bored for a sec - couldn't let go!

Love this book, warm, human, easy to read and enlightening. I have cried as I recognize the same hurtful patterns of behaviour in myself, which I am learning to rectify. For anyone who enjoys mindfulness and focussing I recommend it.

An excellent book. However customers of Amazon should note that the "Perfect Partner" recommendation from Amazon is for the EXACT SAME BOOK WORD FOR WORD, but with a different sub-title.So, don't waste your money buying the suggested "Perfect Partner" book. Just buy one or other of the two, identical, Radical Acceptance books by Tara Brach.

Great book giving advice on accepting ourselves and others so that we do not become critical of self or others. Instead we learn to love ourselves that has the effect of radiating love out to others. Well worth a read for peace of mind. I am pleased with my purchase and would buy again.
