Title: Without question, a true gem that came from a genuine bodhisattva
Review: I had spent about 20 hours with Tara before purchasing her Radical Acceptance book - the Buddhist podcasts Tara gives (weekly!) had prepared me to really enjoy this book. What I didn't expect was the comfortable exposure to really fearful places and the logical presentation of "This isn't beyond you; you can do this" ideas and suggestions. I practice mindfulness and loving compassion to my current capacity and really appreciate her opening herself up to the raw, nasty parts of existence & her experiences that MUST be experienced if we're going to get off the cushion and live the ideas. You will enjoy this gem, I suspect; if you make it through dry eyed might I suggest professional assistance... (just playin! - but not about the spilling of eye-rain)
