Heartwork | Free Book
Compassion is the urge to understand and alleviate the suffering of another being. And if that being happens to be you, then the technique called self-compassion can be the greatest of blessings—for the compassion you learn to apply to yourself naturally extends to all the other people in your life. With the nine simple mindfulness practices she presents here, Radhule Weininger provides a step-by-step course in self-compassion. Using stories drawn from her own life and those of others she shows that, with the right intention and practice, we can all deepen our capacity to respond skillfully to our own suffering and thus to that of others and our world.
In The Press
“There is no healing without heartwork, intimately tending to the
wounds we’ve been avoiding for so long. In this powerful and
beautiful book, Radhule Weininger will help you find the courage,
pathways, and clarity needed to embrace this life with love.”
—Tara Brach, PhD, author of
Radical Acceptance and True Refuge
“In her practice as a psychotherapist and mindfulness meditation
teacher, Radhule Weininger guides her patients along the path of
personal transformation through the practice of compassion and
self-compassion. From the experience of that work comes
Heartwork, a book that weaves together Weininger’s work and
personal journey, wisdom teachings and hands-on exercises. Conveyed
through prose that is accessible to readers from a range of spiritual
traditions and backgrounds, Weininger presents her insights on the
methods she has found useful for identifying the roots of the issues
we are all grappling with, as a first step toward addressing them
through practice and perseverance. Shining through every chapter is
the author’s desire to help reduce the suffering that is the common
thread connecting humanity.”
—Victor Chan, coauthor of Wisdom of Forgiveness and
Wisdom of Compassion with His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai
Lama
“Radhule Weininger offers a tremendous gift in her book,
Heartwork, which weaves together the beauty of art, the wisdom
of reflection, and the effectiveness of years of practical clinical
application. The wealth of ideas and practices presented in this
illuminating work will be of benefit and will help transform our
individual and collective lives.”
—Shauna Shapiro, PhD, professor at Santa Clara University and author
of The Art and Science of Mindfulness and
Mindful Discipline
“In its clear, inviting, and practical way, this book can change your
life. Drawing on her years of combining mindfulness with the
expansive power of compassion, Radhule Weininger brings us practices
that serve to free us from fear, despair, self-hate, and other
oppressive mind-states. Her three-part book begins with the rare,
poignant journey that led her to these discoveries, and then, after
their various forms are carefully set forth, concludes with nine
real-life stories of how different people have put them to
use. Heartwork helps me to be more present in each
moment, more mindful of each encounter. I am especially grateful
for the importance given to intention and motive in shaping what we
accomplish and whom we become.”
—Joanna Macy, author of Coming Back to Life
“This book is brimming with compassion! It’s filled with countless
practical exercises, heartfelt stories, and wise guidance for living
with an open heart. Radhule beautifully guides us on a journey home to
ourselves.”
—Diana Winston, Director of Mindfulness Education at UCLA’s Mindful
Awareness Research Center and coauthor of
Fully Present: The Science, Art, and Practice of Mindfulness.
"This is a lovely book that presents the topics of
compassion for self and others from a Buddhist perspective. With
many meditations and journal exercises, this book will help you open
your heart."—Kristin Neff, Ph.D., author of
