Publisher's Summary
Drawing on the wisdom of Buddhist teachings, illustrative stories and the transformative power of meditation, Tara guides us in healing the shame and fear that bind our hearts.
In the West, most of us have suffered the fear of not being 'good enough', feeling insecure about our appearance, our sexuality, our intelligence, our spiritual progress or - often most importantly - being worthy of love. When these feelings of insufficiency or self-aversion are strong, we fear abandonment and rejection. Many people have already found the Buddhist perspective on our emotional life to be extremely valuable - and this book will be a major practical contribution to the subject.

I found this one to be a little annoying to listen to, just didn't like the narration.

Imperfection and perfection reconciled
This is an imperfect book written by an imperfect author. I am an imperfect listener/reader. Fortunately, we are simultaneously both imperfect and perfect. This paradox is a blessing. Understanding this paradox is essential. This book helps you understand your imperfect and perfect self. Without this understanding "We may spend our lives seeking something that is actually right inside us and could be found if we would only stop and deepen our attention but distracted we spend our life on our way to somewhere else". I have read many Buddhist books. This book is the most personal one that I have read.

Great narratives and ideas
This book talk across many ideas not exclusively Radical Acceptance. She describes this in the start about potentially being a misleading word, but I highly recommend this to anyone.

Relatable
I found this book to be so relatable with Tara's anecdotes. I was constantly saying "ooh that happens to me". The books helped to remind me to care for myself.

good, but...
great book, but the reader made a few errors that I was really surprised to hear. There was one towards the start where she messed up the son's name. Nothing major... got a couple of letters around the wrong way, but definitely something I would have thought would have made someone say, "let's try that last again". Overall, very good, though. Just not completely polished.
