Book description
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. Tara Brach is a clinical psychologist, Buddhist lay priest
and popular teacher of Buddhist mindfulness meditation. A charismatic
personality and speaker, she gives workshops and retreats at all the top
American venues, while continuing her clinical work in her specialities
of addiction, anxiety and depression. She lives in Maryland.
