Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

'An invitation to embrace ourselves with all our pain, fear and anxieties' - Thich Nhat Hanh

'An excellent book. I've recommended it to many, many people' - Tim Ferriss, bestselling author of The 4-Hour Work Week

In the 20th Anniversary Edition of her seminal work Radical Acceptance , renowned meditation and mindfulness teacher Tara Brach offers us a path to freedom.

A brand new introduction focuses on Brach's deepened understanding in an ever-changing world. An additional chapter - ' The RAIN of Compassion ' - offers meditation for realisation and belonging. RAIN, which stands for Recognize, Allow, Investigate and Nurture, was introduced in Brach's Radical Compassion .

Drawing on personal stories, Buddhist teachings and guided meditations, Tara leads us to trust our innate goodness. She reveals how we can develop the balance of clear-sightedness and compassion, heal fear and shame and build loving, authentic relationships.

'I use Tara's meditations and she has changed my life, perhaps more profoundly than anybody' - Maria Popova

Includes bibliographic references (pages 353-355) and index.
