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.

Wonderful helpful book
This book is a tour de force. There is so much spiritual and personal development in it to be gained. I listened on slightly fast speed to make the timing for a book club. I will go back and listen again. I especially loved the detailed word by word relating of tender conversations with clients and self.
Tara repeats spiritual and emotional truths in many different ways which make them easier to be understood and absorbed. Thank you.

Wonderful!
I’ve been wanting to read (listen) to Tara for some time and it did not disappoint.

Better to have been read by Tara
Great wisdom from TB. Abd useful practical meditations every chapter which were read too fast by the narrator. If Tara had conducted them with correct pauses it would have been useful and gained a full five stars. Instead they weren’t useful as read too fast.

Radical Reading
Last year (2022) Tara Brach was a guest on the Tim Ferris podcast. That’s when I heard about R.A.I.N and those two words “Radical Acceptance”.
I realise this book was written 20 years ago, but wisdom is best learnt through experience, so, I’ve just had a radical learning experience understanding that the way through to acceptance is an unconditional friendship with yourself.
The teacher was Tara. In 1975 I was one year young. Tara was practicing this thing called Meditation. Of course I’m going to listen to what she has to say. And she says a lot. A lot of soothing words that make the exterior shell softer, that allowed the idea of an Eastern practice soak into my Western skin.
What did this book do for me?
Honesty! It brought a self reflective honesty to myself. The question of worthiness was asked on more than one occasion, and it helped me find a path of acceptance.
I consume to create. There’s my honesty. Does it sound now that I have a ulterior motive? Is there a hint of vulnerable narcissism?
This book has helped me ask a lot of uncomfortable questions. Have I answered them?
I know this is a review, so what I’m trying to show is how curious this book makes you, and would you not relish the opportunity to be curious about you?
Tara is magnificent with words, so it helps me be magnificent back.
This book is Radical is many ways, but the best way is for the fact, the learning continues, only now, you can see clearer because you’re not constantly in the way.

A helpful step on the path of awakening
Thoroughly enjoyable! Yet insightful & profound.
The combination of therapeutic insight coupled with spiritual awakening made the book more impactful & thought provoking & powerful
I recommend this book to everyone. And I will continue to use this book as part of my spiritual support on my journey to enlightenment.
Thank you Tara. Namaste.
