Get Over Shit and BE Happy: July 3, 2021

Radical Honesty is…

A powerful tool and a set of flexible practices that you can use to create adaptable solutions to most of your problems.

A simple process of reporting out loud to another what you notice in front of you, in your body, and in your mind in the present moment.

A unique perspective that states the best way to heal your past, reduce your stress, and revitalize yourself, is to tell the truth.

Testimonials

“I love the Radical Honesty community and the changes I’ve observed in my life as a result of being involved in it.

I’ve done a lot of so called “self-development” work and have enjoyed most of it, but find that Radical Honesty has made the biggest difference for me.

I appreciate that there are no gimmicks - it doesn’t claim to be a miracle fix, doesn’t claim that all my problems will magically disappear and I’ll never feel sad or angry ever again.

As Brad says, “It works pretty good most of the time.” And that’s been my experience.

When I do the work, and I practice Radical Honesty and commit myself to telling the truth, even when I’m scared, I find I feel lighter, and generally happier.”

-Tony Cuseo, Seattle

“Practicing Radical Honesty helps me to come back to the here and now, observing myself and working on accepting me -and others- as we are right now.

I fully recommend this way of living and creating connection.”

-Begoña Gilabert, Barcelona

"Practicing Radical Honesty has helped me to experience my life with more freedom. I literally feel "lighter" in my life. I have found that the thoughts in my head about telling the truth and what will happen if I do tell the truth are so much scarier than what actually happens when I do get the courage to speak my scariest truths. I learned that if I can allow myself to feel uncomfortable for a relatively short period of time when I tell the truth, I am then free from these scary thoughts and the anxiety associated with these thoughts.

I'm much less anxious than I used to be and have developed a more connected feeling to the people I tell the truth. I highly recommend this practice to anyone who feels like they are always worried and consumed with thoughts! There is so much freedom on the other side of telling my Truth!!"

-Dan Houck, Denver
