#31: Books that changed or touched our lives - Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach

In this book club episode, Paula and Bernie discuss some of the key ideas and differing views about the personal impact of the powerful bestseller Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach. In the book Tara Brach discusses how universal and very human feelings such as sorrow, pain, fear, anxiety and desire, which may indicate that something is wrong or be an appropriate response to a challenging situation are often solidified into "something is wrong with me", unleashing our inner critic and a war against oneself. Tara advocates that through accepting our moment to moment experience even the uncomfortable or painful feelings without resisting and balancing this mindfulness with compassion, we can find radical acceptance, healing and freedom from unconscious habits of self-hatred and blame. Highly recommended by Bernie with super guided reflections and meditations and personal stories. Show notes: 1. Growing up unworthy 2. Strategies to manage the pain of our inadequacy 3. Accepting our human existence and all of life as it is 4. True freedom is being without anxiety about imperfection 5. Imperfection is not our personal problem - it is a natural way of being 6. Coming home to our body 7. Awakening to the source of longing 8. Unfolding into wholeness
