About this listen

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.

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.
