The Honesty Challenge - Getting More Truthful with Ourselves and Our World

About this episode

This episode explores the practice of radical self-honesty as a foundation for being more truthful with others and enhancing love and freedom in our lives.

Most of us value honesty yet are not aware of how regularly we avoid facing what's difficult inside us, and how we are less than truthful with others. This talk explores the practice of radical self-honesty as the grounds of being more honest with others, and bringing more love and freedom to our lives.
