Summary
"The Great Failure is a boundless embrace, leaving nothing out. I wanted to learn the truth, to become whole. If I could touch the dark nature in someone else, I could know it in myself." So begins Natalie Goldberg in this candid exploration of her life. Here, Goldberg makes sense of primary relationships between father and daughter, teacher and student, and exemplifies the accomplishment available when creating daily writing practices - the popular technique she launched in her best-selling Writing Down the Bones. Natalie Goldberg has inspired millions to write in order to develop an intimate relationship with their minds, and a greater understanding of the world in which they live. Now, The Great Failure touches our hearts, and shows us the wellspring of wisdom available when we bravely confront the truths about ourselves, and the events of our lives.
Audiobook read by the author. Program concludes with an exclusive Sounds True interview.

So deep and so real, I loved it.
This Audio book was completely gripping. The writer lets you right into her world and you feel privileged to be hearing what you’re hearing. It is intimate and deep. Her experiences with Zen and her teacher and also her accounts of her father and mother were so revealing, I feel I have learnt so many life lessons just by listening to her stories. She is a such powerful spiritual teacher though I know she doesn’t say she is. She most certainly is. Her own realisations make you sit up inside yourself and ask deep questions about your own life. Thank you Natalie Goldberg. I’m about to purchase all of your Audio books as I want to hear more!
