description: The internationally recognized teacher speaker and New York Times bestselling author of A Return to Love argues that our desire to avoid pain is actually detrimental to our lives disconnecting us from our deepest emotions and preventing true healing and spiritual transcendence.Marianne Williamson is a bestselling author world-renowned teacher and one of the most important spiritual voices of our time. In Tears to Triumph she argues that weas a culture and as individualshave learned to avoid facing pain. By doing so we are neglecting the spiritual work of healing.Instead of allowing ourselves to embrace our hurt we numb it medicate it dismiss it or otherwise divert our attention so that we never have to face it. In refusing to acknowledge our suffering we actually prolong it and deny ourselves the opportunity for profound wisdomultimately limiting our personal growth and opportunity for enlightenment. Frozen by denial we are left standing in the breech. Whole industries profit from this immobility and while they have grown rich we have become spiritually poorer.As Marianne makes clear true healing and transcendence can only come when we finally face our pain and wrestle with what it has to teach us. Written with warm compassion and profound wisdom Tears to Triumph offers us a powerful way forward through the pain to a deeper awareness of our feelings our lives and our true selves.
