New: True Refuge by Tara Brach

Tara Brach writes from the heart to the heart. With candor and calmness, she shares her own and others' struggles to overcome our deep and constant human dilemmas. Whenever I read Brach, I feel more peaceful and hopeful. I trust myself and the universe more. I feel more connected and grounded in what the Lakota Sioux call Wakan Tanka, The Great Mystery. True Refuge is itself a refuge and I thank the author for it.

From clinical psychologist and Buddhist meditation teacher Tara Brach, author of the award-winning Radical Acceptance, is a deeply wise and accessible guide to how we can tap into an inner refuge of peace and acceptance even when confronted with life's most difficult challenges. Perfect for self-help, Buddhist, psychology, and yoga audiences.

When we come face to face with change, loss, and upheaval, we often react with fear and confusion. We want a way out. But our attempts to escape our experience or control it inevitably end in failure. True Refuge offers a radically different approach to this painful trap. It shows us that peace and solace are always available, once we learn to arrive in presence, the silent wakefulness that lives within each of us. Built around the three traditional Buddhist pathways to freedom (truth, love, and awareness), Tara Brach's book is filled with stories of people who have come home to presence amidst crisis and conflict; meditations and other practices for our most difficult times, and fresh interpretations of Buddhist teachings. Wonderfully warm and compassionate, it guides us to connect more fully with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
