Book Reviews of Radical Self-acceptance
Book Review: A good book on an important subject.
Summary: 4 Stars
Right from the opening, you can feel the correctness of the outline Tarah offers regarding the emotional pitfalls surrounding our perceived imperfections and the self-aversion that follows. After giving a brief outline of the process, she goes on to offer a number of Buddhist- centric therapeutic recipes for awareness, tolerance, and accommodation.
My complaints are simple - I wanted more insights and examples regarding self-aversion, and I wanted less Buddhism. Tarah has penetrated deeper than most self-esteem books, taking us close to where the issues arise. But at the very moment we close in, that's it, no more is offered, and we are left wanting. I felt that at the very least she should have reinforced the concepts with more complete examples.
Drawing on Buddhist foundations, Tarah offers us gentle solutions to our predicaments. For me, this seemed to dilute the message rather than strengthen it. For such an important topic, the book need better cohesion and focus.
Nevertheless, I this book points us in the right direction and gives us some measure of guidance regarding shame and self-avoidance. For that I am grateful.
Summary of Radical Self-acceptance
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.Personal Transformation Books
