The church of self-improvement: when worship feels like work -- The really big lies: the falsities we (inevitably, and necessarily) fall for on our way to Truth -- Truthfully seeking: how wisdom happens (hint: paradoxically) -- Healing instincts: mixing our own medicine (it's all an experiment) -- Full of yourself: the curiosities of self-hatred, and the only guarantee of self-love -- You're special-- but not that special: in search of worth -- Super. Human.: choosing to really be here -- Ready to forgive: the complicated, gritty path to grace -- The soul of science: conscious optimism and giving from your fullness -- You are the guru: the hottest truth of all -- Faux freedoms: when sacred sex goes sideways -- Power tools: more awareness, deeper respect, less dependency -- The path within your path: the roundabout journey to life-affirming discipline -- Discernment is everything: when the negative serves the positive -- Regarding suffering: soul, pain, perspective -- Desire, defined: a broader view for creating reality -- Devotion: I think you're up for it.

Summary:
Provides guidance on navigating a spiritual path to avoid self-loathing and other pitfalls that can distract from the goal of peace and freedom.
"Has your self-help become self-criticism? White Hot Truth is a sage and (often hilariously) relatable exploration of the conflicts between genuine spiritual aspiration and our compulsion to improve: the bravery of deep positivity vs. shallow 'positive thinking'; the 'Discipleshit' that happens when we give away our power--and the initiation of wresting it back; faux freedoms: Groupthink disguised as liberation (especially the 'sacred sex' kind); why 'tolerance' as a so-called spiritual course of action can lead to insane loyalty and foolish compassion; the sneaky self-hatred that can drive even the most aware spiritual seekers--and how to 'return to our fullness when we've slipped into our halfness'; boundaries for spiritual people, and the difference between discernment vs. judgment; the complexity of forgiveness, and a Soul-perspective on suffering and joy. Danielle brings it home with the hottest truth of all: You are your own guru."--Inside front cover.
