“Tara Brach writes from the heart to the heart. With candor and
calmness, she shares her own and others’ struggles to overcome our
deep and constant human dilemmas. Whenever I read Brach, I feel
more peaceful and hopeful. I trust myself and the universe more. I
feel more connected and grounded in what the Lakota Sioux call
Wakan Tanka, The Great Mystery. True Refuge is itself a refuge and
I thank the author for it.”—Mary Pipher, Ph.D., New York Times

needed to face our deepest, most difficult emotions. With
tenderness and understanding, she teaches us the practical
techniques that can help us loosen the grip of these emotions and
arrive at a place of peace and basic goodness which is our
essential nature. As more and more citizens learn and practice
these techniques, it can begin a transformation that will allow a
kinder, compassionate, and more mindful nation to
emerge.”—Congressman Tim Ryan, author of A Mindful Nation
“There is something very special about this exquisitely written
book—its clarity, beauty, simplicity, and humanity practically sing
to you. Inspiring and uplifting to read, it also has eminently
practical, implementable, step-by-step guidance to practice and
live by. And the fifteen brief, powerful guided meditations offer
an easy, gentle entry toward inner peace and wisdom. While turning
the pages, I thought of a half dozen people who could really use
this book as a friendly, loving reference point—myself
included!”—Belleruth Naparstek, author of Invisible Heroes and
creator of the Health Journeys guided imagery audio series
