RADICAL COMPASSION Learning to Love Yourself and Your World with the Practice of RAIN

Brach's peaceful narration embodies the message of love and compassion in her quietly powerful audiobook, which introduces the four-step system of RAIN--an acronym for Recognize, Allow, Investigate, and Nurture. Highlighting the importance of heartfulness and mindfulness, Brach's calm tone explains how radical compassion is especially important in this age of suffering, deficiency, and disconnect. Using real situations from her life and those of others, Brach shows how RAIN can be adapted and applied to challenging aspects of life to loosen the entanglements of our day and release our suffering by grounding ourselves in the present. Brach's missive about having compassion for ourselves and others is as soothing as it is vital. M.F. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2020]
