Summary
Ever read a self-help book? Ever realize that those books rarely work? Danielle LaPorte’s latest book, White Hot Truth, takes a look at the current dynamics of self-help culture and spiritual devotion and has her own different take on them all. Take a listen and hear how “self-compassion” is the new form of self-help!
Danielle LaPorte’s book, White Hot Truth is a sharp, wise, and often hilarious exploration of the conflict between genuine spiritual aspirationand our compulsion to improve. Danielle is a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100. Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues, calls her, “a force field of energy, wonder, humour, and love. Marianne Williamson calls her, “a bright light in the modern priestesshood.”
