Welcome to Litsy!

This is really an incredible book. Tara Brach is a great teacher, and I‘ve been listening to her guided meditations for a while. It was so nice to read more of her teaching, stories, and insights in this book. She has such a great way of teaching self compassion and acceptance! I would definitely recommend.

Happy Birthday to the Dalai Lama!

In psychotherapy, radical acceptance is the skill of accepting the things you can‘t change. It sounds simple enough, but there are people whose brains can‘t quite get the signal that something is uncontrollable. Tara Brach takes this concept and expands on it through the use of Buddhist practices.

The book itself is nothing spectacular but there are a lot of nuggets of wisdom, and I feel better prepared for the task at hand.

And the only things I could keep were what I was able to carry with me. What would it be like to live like that?” This is one story that pushes the envelope just a tad further, as international picturebook titles from Norway usually do.

I read this to the little humans today. It exemplifies the spirit of Christmas 💞

I would say this is a good introduction to the topic and a few examples of mindfulness practice at the end of each session.

"IN THIS INCREDIBLY COMPETITIVE SOCIETY OF OURS, HOW MANY OF us truly feel good about ourselves? It seems such a fleeting thing—feeling good—especially as we need to feel special and above average to feel worthy. Anything less seems like a failure."
