The internationally recognized teacher, speaker, and New York Times
bestselling author of A Return to Love argues that our desire to avoid
pain is actually detrimental to our lives, disconnecting us from our
deepest emotions and preventing true healing and spiritual
transcendence.
Marianne Williamson is a bestselling author, world-renowned teacher, and
one of the most important spiritual voices of our time. In Tears to
Triumph, she argues that we--as a culture and as individuals--have
learned to avoid facing pain. By doing so, we are neglecting the
spiritual work of healing.
Instead of allowing ourselves to embrace our hurt, we numb it, medicate
it, dismiss it, or otherwise divert our attention so that we never have
to face it. In refusing to acknowledge our suffering, we actually
prolong it and deny ourselves the opportunity for profound
wisdom--ultimately limiting our personal growth and opportunity for
enlightenment. Frozen by denial, we are left standing in the breech.
Whole industries profit from this immobility, and while they have grown
rich, we have become spiritually poorer.
As Marianne makes clear, true healing and transcendence can only come
when we finally face our pain and wrestle with what it has to teach us.
Written with warm compassion and profound wisdom, Tears to Triumph
offers us a powerful way forward through the pain, to a deeper awareness
of our feelings, our lives, and our true selves.
