Radical Acceptance - Awakening the Love that Heals Fear and Shame

This volume is a Buddhist "how-to" book that focuses primarily on the classic personal deveopment issue of healing fear and shame, written by an author who is a clinical psycologist, Buddhist lay priest and teacher of Buddhist mindfulness meditation.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.
