Why is it that we’re often our own worst enemy? What messages have we internalized that make us chronically criticize our own actions? And how can we break these cycles of self-recrimination? 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. In The Self-Acceptance Summit: Volume Two, you’ll find a collection of insights, encouraging voices, and on-the-spot tools to help you transform your relationship with yourself.

This wonderful little book is a tale of our individual and collective awakening into the experience of being authentically ourselves and fully awake to life.
