Radical Acceptance : Awakening the Love That Heals Fear and Shame

'An invitation to embrace ourselves with all our pain, fear and anxieties' - Thich Nhat Hanh

'An excellent book. I've recommended it to many, many people' - Tim Ferriss, bestselling author of The 4-Hour Work Week

In the 20th Anniversary Edition of her seminal work Radical Acceptance, renowned meditation and mindfulness teacher Tara Brach offers us a path to freedom.

A brand new introduction focuses on Brach's deepened understanding in an ever-changing world. An additional chapter - 'The RAIN of Compassion' - offers meditation for realisation and belonging. RAIN, which stands for Recognize, Allow, Investigate and Nurture, was introduced in Brach's Radical Compassion.

Drawing on personal stories, Buddhist teachings and guided meditations, Tara leads us to trust our innate goodness. She reveals how we can develop the balance of clear-sightedness and compassion, heal fear and shame and build loving, authentic relationships.

'I use Tara's meditations and she has changed my life, perhaps more profoundly than anybody' - Maria Popova
