From acclaimed meditation teacher Tara Brach, a guide to awaken courage and cultivate radical love for ourselves and our world

This transformative workbook shares Tara Brach’s most potent teachings for these perilous times. As Tara writes, “Our world needs us. It is calling for a courageous love—one that can meet suffering with a fierce tenderness and helps us respond with wisdom, compassion, and heart.” This workbook helps us cultivate that radical love—for ourselves, for one another, and for this moment.

The Courageous Heart Workbook shares an intentional sequence of experiential practices that support us in cultivating presence within ourselves, embracing those around us, widening our circle of compassion, and living from a fearless heart. Tara adapts some of her most beloved teachings, including Radical Acceptance and RAIN, into interactive practices, meditations, and reflections. Throughout, QR codes point to guided meditations led by Tara to help deepen our experience. Tara explains, “This journey will invite you to pause, to feel, to reflect, and to wake up to the fullness of your own heart.”

“The medicine of this moment is the embodiment of the bodhisattva—a fierce, engaged, and all-inclusive love. Love is intrinsic to what we are. Love is our homecoming,” Tara shares. This workbook will help you make this homecoming your own.
