This book combines the psychological concept of acceptance with ancient Buddhist teachings about the chain of interdependent origination, which provides immediately usable tools for looking at how suffering happens and how to let that go. Stressing the theme of accepting what life brings, it reveals what acceptance is and what stands in the way of being able to accept life's ups and downs. Four steps for combating resistance are also provided.

Industry Reviews

"With direct, down-to-earth style, Cheri Huber challenges us to look honestly at our ways of resisting life and to discover the freedom that comes from a radical acceptance of what is. Like every authentic spiritual text, When You're Falling, Dive is not just a book to read, but a teaching to live and realize for ourselves." --Thomas J. McFarlane, editor, Einstein and Buddha: The Parallel Sayings "We fall, we dive, we are illuminated by the work of Cheri Huber." --Sark, author/artist, Succulent Wild Woman "This marvelously wise little book does a splendid job of teaching us how to achieve the critical mental quality of mindful acceptance and apply it as a tool for attaining tranquility and insight." --Jeffrey M. Schwartz, M.D., author, The Mind and The Brain and A Return to Innocence "For anyone struggling with self-sabotaging habits When Your Falling, Dive offers an exhilarating and effective approach to lasting transformation. Huber knows the path of compassionate self-knowledge, and she shows readers the way." --Pilar Gerasimo, editor, Experience Life Magazine
