I have little patience for spiritual snobery, and I found this book about meditation and zen concepts to be very down-to-earth and understandable. As a mild detraction, Tara returned again and again to the touchy-feely lovingkindness solution for things (see Joko Beck's 'Nothing Special' for a real no-nonsense discussion of Zen practice). But I didn't find Tara's style overly cloying or annoying in this sense. I would recommend Radical Acceptance for anyone interested in understanding a mindful approach to understanding deep seated psychological processes and barriers.
For a taste of her teachings checkout her archives of podcast lectures at Welcome to the Insight Meditation Community of Washington | Insight Meditation Community of Washington.
Enjoy!
