The Self-Acceptance Summit: Volume 1: How to Overcome Self-Judgment and Live a Life of Bravery, Compassion, and Authenticity
Ten Essential Perspectives on the Power of Self-Love
How often do you hear inner voices saying you’re not good enough, not tough enough, not fit enough? How much time do you spend dwelling on regret, shame, and things you wish you could do over?
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 One, you’ll find a collection of insights, encouraging voices, and on-the-spot tools to help you transform your relationship with yourself.

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.

It was a series of podcasts that were grouped into a “book”. Some of the series were helpful but others were just okay.
