- Synopsis
- When You' re Falling, Dive combines the psychological concept of acceptance with Buddhist teachings, providing useful tools for looking at how suffering happens and how to let that go. The book is written in three parts: What Acceptance Is and Why We Resist; How to Accept; Acceptance, Freedom and Possibility. The primary themes are threefold: accepting what life brings, learning to recognize what acceptance is and discerning one' s psychological mechanisms that stand in the way of being able to accept. Five practices for mentoring oneself to overcome resistance are included: 1) Lower your expectations, 2) learn to see “ who is here,” 3) create for yourself a Q&A mini-workbook, 4) prove to yourself that you are doing nothing wrong and 5) realize the uselessness of comparing yourself to others.
