About this item
Struggling to accept people or circumstances you cannot change?
Whether it’s a difficult parent, an uncooperative coworker, a strained marriage, a strong-willed child, financial setbacks, illness, or your own imperfections, resistance often creates more suffering than the situation itself.
Over 12,000 copies sold. Named a Library Journal Best Wellness Book and winner of the Independent Book Publishers Association Silver Medal for Self-Help.
In The Gifts of Acceptance, bestselling author Daniel A. Miller shows how practicing acceptance transforms anxiety into calm, conflict into understanding, and hardship into new possibilities.
Acceptance does not mean approval. It means responding wisely to reality instead of fighting it. In the truest sense, acceptance is the path to peace and serenity.
Drawing on research, practical insight, inspiring true stories, and his own experience with hardship, Miller explains how letting go of unrealistic expectations and the urge to control people and outcomes lead to:
• Greater trust, openness, and intimacy in relationships
• Reduced stress and emotional reactivity
• Greater resilience during adversity
• Freedom from controlling personalities and difficult people
• Stronger bonds with coworkers and business associates
• New possibilities in discouraging situations
• Genuine self-acceptance
This book explores acceptance in:
• Family relationships
• Romantic partnerships
• Workplace dynamics
• Life transitions and setbacks
• Aging and personal limitations
• Creative and athletic endeavors
Find out how accepting “what is” allows you to discover “what might be.”
