Practicing Radical Honesty
Summary
Blunt, shocking, and sometimes profane, this exciting audiobook blasts self-help and feel-good remedies to expose the lies with which we imprison ourselves. It talks straight, hard, and true to the heart of the human condition, pulling no punches. It gives us simple yet revolutionary tools to break out of our minds and into a direct and immediate perception of exactly where we are - then shows us how we can together create a world that works for everyone. The audiobook is divided into five sections: True Individuality Community and Compassion Creating Your Own Destiny How to Speak and Listen Your Projects into Reality Paradigms and Contexts: The Revolution of Consciousness as Political Change

The Truthtellers
Summary
Freedom is a psychological accomplishment. Only truthfulness will set us free. Many of us already know that in our bones, but we don't always muster the courage to do it - or remember the incredible rewards! From the simple, intensely moving stories in the beginning to the profound and hilarious essays in the end, this audiobook is the best reminder of that reward you will ever come across. Honesty is the source of the ongoing renewal of love. We have the evidence. The Truthtellers: Stories of Success by Radically Honest People contains true stories from people who have shared honestly with people in their personal lives, and how it often leads to unpredicted love, freedom, creativity and joy. You will also find how this kind of honest self-expression leads to activism in the world community, and what we can do to co-create a wilder, more joyous life together. By the author of the best-selling Radical Honesty, Brad Blanton, Ph.D. Grace Llewelyn (The Teenage Liberation Handbook) says this about The Truthtellers: "The visceral descriptions of anxiety and other painful feelings that come in the process of telling the truth are a key strength of this wonderful book. People worry that Radical Honesty is too messy, too hurtful. Well, if you're doing it right, it is messy. And it does often hurt. But, as these stories here show beautifully, if you're willing to go through the mess and the hurt, the rewards are unbelievably, unpredictably rich. The kind of love that is possible after somebody tells the truth (in the way Brad and his colleagues define telling the truth), is a whole different animal - fresher, looser, deeper, sweeter, wilder, stronger - than what usually passes for love. I know because I have my own parallel stories to the ones here."

Some NEW Kind of Trailer Trash
Summary
Brad Blanton is at ease in this first volume of his autobiography. Some NEW Kind of Trailer Trash tells the tale of Brad Blanton, including the most intimate details, demonstrating the inner security and self-deprecating humor which it would seem support his international reputation as a gestalt therapist, seminar leader, and writer published all over the world. He owns his life in all aspects and finds in his weirdness his salvation, demonstrating the radical honesty he's made famous and rooting his self-understanding, which is considerable, in his childhood. Transformation personified.

Radical Parenting
Summary
Radical Parenting brings together the revolutionary ideas in psychotherapist Brad Blanton's other books - Radical Honesty, Practicing Radical Honesty, and Honest to God (with Neale Donald Walsch). The honesty and openness of the author himself about his own children is combined with the wisdom gleaned from years of work with people suffering from how they were raised. This book does no less than create an entirely new blueprint for parenting. It's for people who really want to transcend the limitations of the family and culture in which they were raised. It is based on decades of work with thousands of individuals and families, as well as the most recent scientific research on brain physiology, biochemistry, cognitive theory, evolutionary theory, cultural anthropology, and psychological growth and development. The goal of this book is to show parents how to parent consciously, so they can prevent crippling their children in the same ways they were crippled in their own families and schools. It goes into intricate detail about how human minds get built, how they function, and how they malfunction. It gives practical examples of what to attend to with children from the beginning of their life, and how to be with them as they grow. And it rants eloquently against the cultural limitations that make us blind to how we re-create suffering, so we can nurture our children in a way that allows them to remain playful and curious all the way into adulthood.
