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.
