"Mercy is radical kindness," Anne Lamott writes in latest book, Hallelujah Anyway. It's the permission you give others -- and yourself -- to forgive a debt, to absolve the unabsolvable, to let go of the judgment and pain that make life so difficult.

In Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith, Lamott examines the ways we're caught in life's most daunting predicaments: love, mothering, work, politics, and maybe toughest of all, evolving from who we are to who we were meant to be.

It doesn't have to be that way.
Research shows that when we truly accept ourselves, it changes everything. We become less reactive and more resilient. Our physical health improves....
