The Self-Acceptance Summit: Volume 3: How to Overcome Self-Judgment and Live a Life of Bravery, Compassion, and Authenticity
About this audiobook
Move from Self-Criticism to Self-Love with the Help of Ten Visionary Presenters
Some of the most common human experiences are self-criticism, self-doubt, and self-recrimination. We often are far harsher on ourselves than on others, and many of us suffer constantly for it.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Research shows that when we truly accept ourselves, it changes everything. We become less reactive and more resilient. Our physical health improves. We are capable of deeper and more satisfying relationships.
The Self-Acceptance Summit shows the way toward this most important path of healing and discovery.
In The Self-Acceptance Summit: Volume Three, you’ll find a collection of insights, encouraging voices, and on-the-spot tools to help you transform your relationship with yourself.
In this concluding volume, you’ll discover:
•Martha Beck: “Meat Self, Meta Self: Reclaiming Your True Nature”
•Anne Lamott: “Radical Self-Care Changes Everything”
•Steven Hayes, PhD: “Perspective-Taking as Healing”
•Elena Brower: “Cultivating Confidence: Self-Acceptance Is an Altruistic Act”
•Matt Kahn: “Loving What Arises”
•Nataly Kogan: “How to Avoid the Valley of Suffering”
•Tara Sophia Mohr: “Quieting Your Inner Critic and Navigating Feedback”
•Mike Robbins: “Nothing Changes Until You Do”
•Bret Lyon, PhD & Sheila Rubin: “Healing Shame”
•Rosie Molinary: “Radiate”
Whether you seek health and happiness in your own life or are hoping to be of greater service in the world, your relationship with yourself is always the starting point. With The Self-Acceptance Summit, you’ll learn how accepting yourself—especially those parts you find most shameful or frightening—has a positive impact on nearly every experience in your life.
