Dr. Blanton, an author and licensed psychologist, offers an intimate look at his own struggles with honesty and his eventual realization that total honesty is the only way to become truly free. He recommends speaking out loud everything we are thinking and feeling, acting free of shame, and not bothering with white lies and half-truths, as these ultimately lead to more trouble than they are worth.
An advocate for stigma-free, shame-free living, Dr. Blanton believes that embracing our true selves is the only way to authentically create and keep strong relationships with our loved ones. He also shares powerful advice for working through personal issues and for addressing relational challenges with sensitivity, respect, and understanding.
At the heart of Radical Honesty: How to Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth lies Dr. Blanton’s call to action - to stop lying and covering up our pain, to start telling the truth and allow ourselves to be vulnerable, and to create an environment of mutual trust, respect, and bidirectional validation within our relationships.
Dr. Blanton draws from a variety of personal experiences, studies, and anecdotes from his long career in psychology to drive home the point that never giving up on honesty is the only way to truly live a meaningful life. By laying bare the depths of his own soul, Dr. Blanton moves readers to consider the impact of their own honesty and how that affects their relationships and overall life satisfaction.
For those looking to bring greater openness and transparency into their life, Radical Honesty: How to Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth provides a unique road map to liberation and freedom.
