Summary

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.

Wonderful helpful book

This book is a tour de force. There is so much spiritual and personal development in it to be gained. I listened on slightly fast speed to make the timing for a book club. I will go back and listen again. I especially loved the detailed word by word relating of tender conversations with clients and self.
Tara repeats spiritual and emotional truths in many different ways which make them easier to be understood and absorbed. Thank you.

Better to have been read by Tara

Great wisdom from TB. Abd useful practical meditations every chapter which were read too fast by the narrator. If Tara had conducted them with correct pauses it would have been useful and gained a full five stars. Instead they weren’t useful as read too fast.

Lovely book

This is a lovely book. Well written with some smashing guided practices you can learn and useful ideas introduced. It would’ve been nice of the meditations were given separate chapter titles for ease of access on the audio book.

An exceptional listen with lots to learn.

My only gripe were the hasty guided meditations. But even so I do not in the slightest regret my purchase. If you're looking to help yourself heal and/or live, give it a shot. It's a good step.
