This book genuinely made me cry. It is so heart felt and meaningful. I suspect that the fact that I am in the progress of unpacking after moving house at the end of an extremely challenging year also has something to do with it. But honest this was just what I needed would highly recommend. This book is pure magic.

I love the tone and pacing very soothing. The exercises are are useful and interesting. I listened to the audio version of this book. And I love the narrators voice again it is so calm and soothing a perfect fit.

While I would still recommend, I do have a couple of more 'negative' comments to make as well. While I agree that forgiveness is important. I disagree with the concept that it is 'owed' to everyone. This book seems to imply even if people has really hurt you, and have taken no ownership for their actions you should still forgive them. While I suspect that the writers definition of forgiveness is very different from my own. I still can't agree with this concept. Some wounds are just to deep and actions have consequences. But hay maybe I'm not at that stage of the healing journey.

Utter Brilliant Book would Highly Recommend

Get it now. Tara narrates clearly, authentically, and meaningfully. I skipped the meditations and it was still great.

This is quite a nice book. I’ve listened to quite a few of Brach’s podcasts etc so was a bit worried the book would repeat a lot of the same stories (as I’ve found with some Jack Kornfield books) but that wasn’t the case. The tone of the book is kind and it feels supportive. It’s also easy to listen to. Most of it you can listen at x2 speed although you would want to slow down for the meditations. The meditations/practices themselves are clearly set out and easy to follow. They are not going to change your life overnight (none of these books can despite what some claim) but you will definitely find them helpful. This is a book I will want to read again. My only slight quibbles are that it would be helpful to have an accompanying pdf with the practices in them and/or to have the practices marked out as chapters so they can be easily revisited.

Quite a nice and helpful book

Once i have found my way to my true feelings and embodied these feelings Tara beautifully guides me through the steps to self love and self acceptance. She is relentless in her belief than this is the foundation for a calm fulfilledlife.
I am convinced!
Thank you Tara

The RAIN practice has changed my relationship with myself and my suffering and that of others. It gives a great clear method to reach a state of self compassion, which is something I've struggled to grasp for a long time!

Game changer!
