A New Book by Hugo Elfinstone

Compassionate honesty is as important a spiritual practice as yoga, meditation, or prayer.

Many relationships fail, not because people don’t love one another or have good intentions, but rather because they don’t know how to be direct, open, and honest with each other. This is especially true when working through difficult conversations, hurt feelings, misunderstandings, and challenging emotions. The ability for two people to express and work through upsets and problems openly is essential to the success of any relationship, from marriage to business to friendship.

Many of us feel cut off, not only from deeper relationships with other people, but also a meaningful connection with ourselves, oneness, and the divine.

The main reason for being honest is to reveal and therefore discover yourself. With the discovery of self comes a deep and loving connection with all of life.

Compassionate Honesty offers an endless journey of healing, growth, freedom, love, play, joy, peace, and fascination in your life and relationships.

Book Review
by Swami SuddhanandaThis journey begins with simple yet profound definitions of compassion and honesty.

Continuing in a compassionate voice, offering the same simple and profound teachings, there are exercises and stories leading us through the most thorny of human landscapes - dealing with anger, judgements, guilt, shame and intimate and professional relationship issues.

A final section on personal awareness and personal transformation brings us to a peaceful close of this beautiful book - and a beginning point to simply and compassionately examine deeply held beliefs that may keep us from experiencing life’s gifts - and a powerful way to let go of deeply held beliefs.

Because of the way complex concepts are presented - with simple clarity of purpose - both the old timer and the newcommer to the inner working of the human heart - can use this book as a tool for self-transformation.

I have taught communication and worked with my own internal process for decades. I am using this book - and getting powerful results - deepening my everyday experience of love, compassion and peace.

—Swami Suddhananda
