Editorial Review:
Product Description: According to Zen teacher Cheri Huber, we are conditioned to think that if we were only a little better in some way, we would be happy: “Life isn't the way it should be and it's my fault!” But, Huber says, no amount of self-punishment will ever make us happy or bring us control over life’s problems.
The help we are looking for is really found in self-acceptance and kindness toward ourselves. By simply allowing ourselves to be guided by our innate intelligence and generosity, which are our authentic nature, we are able to be compassionately present to what’s happening now. Compassionate self-discipline—the will to take positive steps in life—is found through nothing other than being present. When we are present and aware, we are not engaged in distracting, addictive behaviors. If we simply cultivate our ability to pay attention and focus on what is here in this moment, our experience can be authentic, awake, honest, and joyful.
The book includes a guided thirty-day program of daily meditation, contemplation, and journaling.

I'm an introspective person; I think a lot about the meaning of life, human interactions, etc. and have done extensive reading to help me understand myself and others. I was disappointed with this book. I thought it covered pretty basic stuff. It might be a fine book for a younger person, or someone who has never been very introspective, but it was nearly worthless for me.

whose life is a testament to the fundamental value of compassionate self-discipline AND self-acceptance. That's How the Light Gets In: Memoir of a Psychiatrist by Susan Rako, M.D. takes its title from a song by Leonard Cohen: "There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." Rako's book is fascinating, remarkably candid, and wonderfully well-written. It is a great read. The writing just flows.

If your life needs a change, you dont have the budget for psychotherapy, and you don't have time to sit down and read a long complicated book, this may be a big help to you. I was able to pick up some ideas and use them immediately. A shift in my perception became simple, and quick to produce results. Some of our lives are too hectic to become a guru. We just need positive changes that will last. You could do this on your lunch break.
