Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach

4.0

If you ever berate yourself or find yourself saying things to yourself that you would never say to a friend or family member, this book is for you. Don't let the subtitle be off-putting. The concepts in this book are for people of all religions. You can't fully love others until you accept and love yourself. She tells many stories and the concepts are very accessible. Unfortunately many religions over-emphasize sin and feelings of unworthiness and this book is a perfect antidote to that. There are several guided meditations included in the book (my favorites are tonglen and lovingkindness). Read this book and be uplifted. "The more fully we offer our attention, the more deeply we realize that what matters most in life is being kind."
