Summary

Out of Suffering and into What Has Already Been Allowed

How can we bring an effortless yes to this moment? How do we stop running from “the mess of life”—our predicaments, our frustrations, even our search for liberation—and start flowing with all of it?

In small venues throughout the UK and Europe, a young teacher named Jeff Foster is quietly awakening a new generation of spiritual inquirers to the experience of abiding presence and peace in our ever-shifting world. His informal gatherings, blogs, and “kitchen-table video posts” have created a rising tide of interest in his teachings.

With The Deepest Acceptance, Jeff Foster invites us to discover the ocean of who we are: An awareness that has already allowed every wave of emotion and experience to arrive.

While Jeff delightfully admits the irony of an audio program to convey something that is beyond words to teach, here he confirms his ability to guide us in unexpected new ways to a space of absolute acceptance and joy, no matter what’s happening in our lives.

Those who enjoy spoken-word teachings will find this original audio edition of Jeff Foster’s book especially engaging. Here, he guides us in the spirit of his spontaneous talks and dialogs, into the direct experience of deepest acceptance.

Candid, thoughtful, humorous—and deeply compassionate toward those searching for a way out of suffering—this refreshing new luminary inspires us to stop trying to “do” acceptance … and start falling in love with “what has already been allowed.”

Critic reviews

"Wise, spacious, and loving. Teachings that can free the heart." (Jack Kornfield, author of A Lamp in the Darkness and A Path With Heart)
"There is a transmission in this book: an alive, compassionate presence that invites awakening right here, this very moment, no matter what is going on in our lives." (Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge)
"A beautifully written guide to the fearlessness and simplicity of living fully immersed in each moment of our lives. The Deepest Acceptance rings with the power and authenticity of Jeff Foster's deeply felt, deeply lived wisdom. His affirmation of life and compassion for the full range of human experience is a much needed contribution." (Judith Blackstone, PhD, author of Belonging Here and The Intimate Life)

Thank you 🙏

It’s great to have an audio book with this form of teaching. It’s so easy to forget and get caught up in a new, disguised form of escape and longing. Authenticity flows through Jeff beautifully. If you’re not sure whether to get this - just do it. Im sure there will be no regrets. I also liked the building in of pausing to connect with being at points. It’s easy to take these things intellectually and can be helpful to have explicit encouragement to notice and connect experientially. Thanks again Jeff 🌈

Beautifully narrated, felt like Jeff was having a personal conversation with me. Explains non duality and how to overcome suffering in a simple, well understood way. Highly recommend it 👌

Acceptance

I love listening to Jeff because I start to feel what he describes. A deep acceptance of all the waves that appear in the vast ocean. This is a wonderful feeling of safety-when the argument against what is arising is dropped.

Not for mental health issues

Whilst I understand the meaning it never covers how to accept the issues for bipolar depression, why does it take over the whole ocean and not just affects of the waves

was ok

there is a lot of repetition. it gets quite frustrating. "waves, oceans, who you really are". might be quite fun to turn this book into a drinking game. lol.
there is some gold in amongst the repetition though. not much new here though. feels a bit like another guy talking Buddhism but without acknowledging it's Buddhism. I won't be listening to more Jeff Foster.
