Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha

In 100 Words or Less: Many of us believe, if only deep down, that there is something fundamentally wrong with us. We are unworthy. We hate feeling that way and will generally do whatever we can to avoid it. Some of us try to bury those feelings in achievement; others may try to drink them away. We each suffer needlessly because we don't know how to process these very real, very persistent emotions in a healthy way. Radical Acceptance argues that "imperfection is not our personal problem--it is a natural part of existing ... The way out of our cage begins with accepting absolutely everything about ourselves and our lives, by embracing with wakefulness and care our moment-to-moment experience." If you would like to be free of your unworthiness, Radical Acceptance will show you exactly how to go about it. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
