Summary

Brought to you by Penguin. 

Even when we cannot see the gold, the light and love of our true nature cannot be dimmed, tarnished or erased.

Within us all is an innate purity, our gold, that we too often learn to hide and doubt as we navigate the troubles of daily life. We lose touch with our innocence, creativity and tender hearts, as we seek the approval of others and determine our self-worth based on the judgements of those around us.

In this beautiful book, beloved meditation teacher and author Tara Brach teaches us how to uncover our gold and let our true nature shine out with love, kindness and spirit. Tara reveals how we can strip back the layers of doubt and fear that hold us back and learn to trust the pure awareness, love and basic goodness that live deep in our hearts.

Beautiful, Calming & Grounding

I adore this book, especially as an audio experience; Tara’s voice is calming, her stories grounding and her reflections and chosen quotes meaningful. It’s so much more than a book, it’s a meditation I will visit again and again 💛

Tara is there, your friend

I have followed Tara’s teachings for around 10 years and it’s wonderful to have these snippets of wisdom and encouragement recorded with so much intimacy as though just for you. I’ve never slept with a smile on my face as much as when I go to sleep with these heartfelt words of love resounding in my heart. Absolute gold!

Beautiful in every way.

This is a beautiful book which I will listen to over and over again. It is comforting, uplifting and refreshing. It shines a light on many areas where we struggle and offers a way out. Lastly, the reading by Tara makes this more personal her voice has such a kindly, sensitive tone. Do try this audiobook.

Beautiful and inspiring words of wisdom.

Soothing, inspiring and enlightening, "Trusting the Gold" was the perfect ending to my reading adventures of 2022. Tara Brach offers wisdom, compassion and inspiration for self-reflection and re-evaluation. The book felt like a warm hug I didn't know I needed and helped me look at this past year and my failures and victories from new perspectives. I will keep many of Tara Brach's words in mind in 2023 and revisit this beautiful book very soon.
Thank you, Tara!

The monotone

The monotone ruined the whole experience for me, I found it so frustrating that it prevented me from appreciating the essence of the text
