Is this course right for me?
This course is for you if…
You struggle talking openly with the important people in your life about what you’re really feeling and thinking
You’re lacking real and authentic connection because of hiding behind roles and facades
You want to feel the freedom and empowerment of expressing yourself openly and living life out loud!
Do you feel bogged down by the weight of hiding?
Do you struggle with asking for what you want from your loved ones, colleagues or friends?
Do you want to finally take charge of your life and empower yourself to create the life you really want?!
Radical Honesty can help!
Get Over Shit and BE Happy is a tailored process, curated over more 30 years of practice by Brad Blanton with the help of 1000’s of friends, designed specifically to confront the modern problems of disconnection, alienation and stress that arise as a result from a lifetime of withholding, pretending, and playing it small.
In this 6-week guided course, you will learn the tools, the process, and the perspective of Radical Honesty to help you resolve the problems that are most important to you.
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.

More Testimonials:
"Radical Honesty is a means of helping me to lift the veil of my opinion and judgment…a tool to help me wake up from this dream. So that, at last, I can forgive myself, and consequently all others, and love completely. I am the source of all of that.”
— Leo Burmester, Actor (Les Miserables, The Abyss, The Last Temptation of Christ)
“Brad's honesty is so refreshing and liberating. His work is about true love and living the truth."
— Joan Tollifson, Author (Awake in the Heartland and Bare-Bones Meditation)

How clear and direct your relating can be with your co-worker, your neighbor, or your boss who you always thought of as “off limits” for honesty
How sensational you can feel in your body when you fully and directly express yourself, and how you can give yourself cheap thrills by saying what’s real for you in the moment, with anyone
How peaceful, joyful, and free you can be, physically and mentally, through revealing your withheld thoughts
How resilient you can be and how much confidence you can build through telling the truth and then being with what arises in any situation
How major shifts in relating can quickly come about when you tell someone something you’ve never shared with them before

New practices for building connection with your loved ones by revealing your pretenses
Tools for creating cleaner communication with those who matter most by getting grounded in reality
New ways for tuning into and relaxing yourself for overall well-being and peace of mind
Tips and support for practicing Radical Honesty in the “real world” beyond the end of the course
and… some new, more-honest-than-average friends who’ll call you on your shit and still love you all the same.
There is a lot to gain from your participation in this course.
However, you will not get much from this course if you simply make your way through the reading and videos without doing the exercises, participating in the live sessions,
and being honest with the people in your life.
*Radical Honesty is not about learning theory, and this work is not for the faint of heart.*
You will undoubtedly rock your world and create connection and relationships like you’ve never known—even with the people you’ve known your whole life—if you dig in and PRACTICE Radical Honesty.
This course is a great place to begin.

The Curriculum
Radical Honesty is a mutual awareness practice and an out loud meditation that we practice with others.
MODULE 1: Pretending & Revealing Your Pretenses (7 lessons)
Wake up to the idea that you are pretending, most of the time, and explore how you most often do this by withholding from others. Confront your pretenses, learn to share them with the group, and notice what happens when you reveal what you have been hiding.
MODULE 2: Noticing and Imagining (5 lessons)
Learn the difference between noticing and imagining and how this distinction is the key to relieving yourself of suffering in your personal life and in your relationships.
MODULE 3: Meditation and relaxation (6 lessons)
Get grounded in meditation and relaxation as an essential part of your Radical Honesty practice.
MODULE 4: Shoulds, Your Inner Critic and Your Internal judge (6 lessons)
Unearth the shoulds and internal judgments that are running your life and learn how to reduce their power.
MODULE 5: Expressing Resentments & Appreciations (6 lessons)
Learn to get over shit and be happy! Practice directly expressing your anger and appreciation as it comes up, so it can come and go.
MODULE 6: Experiencing Your Experience and Moralism (6 lessons)
Confront the idea that our minds are our best asset and begin to primarily identify with being a noticer. Bring attention to the way our perfectionistic side keeps us from learning and co-creating with others and become inspired to continue practicing on your own and stay connected with the Radical Honesty community.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have experience with Radical Honesty to participate?
No! This course is great for folks who have never attended a Radical Honesty workshop, and also enriching for people who have. We cover the basics in this course, and consider it introductory level.
What if I've been to a Radical Honesty workshop? Will I still get something out of this?
It depends on how you approach it. If you come with a “beginner’s mind” knowing that we’re covering the fundamentals of Radical Honesty, as covered in the live workshops you’ve been to, and aware that “getting” the practice of Radical Honesty in your bones requires “practice, practice, practice” then yes, we think you can definitely get something out of it. If you come expecting advanced practice after attending several live workshops, then you may be disappointed. Like mentioned above, this is an introductory level course.
Do I need to have a partner in the course?
No, but we do recommend it and think you’ll get a hell of a lot more out of the course if you’ve got a friend, co-worker, partner, or family member to do the exercises with you in person. If you don’t have someone to practice with face to face, you can pair up with different folks in the course by connecting through the forum and getting on video calls together.
Will we be interacting with Brad Blanton during the course?
No, you’ll be interacting with the Course Guides, Mak and Dustin, and with your fellow course participants.
What if I miss the live calls? Are they required for me to join?
Your attendance on the calls is not required, though you’ll absolutely get the most bang for your buck by being an active participant in all of the calls. Recordings of each call with be shared with you.
How much pre-recorded video content is available in the course?
The amount of pre-recorded video time in each module ranges from about 40 minutes to about 60 minutes, and the total video time in the whole course is about 5 1/2 hours.
What if I don’t like the course once I start? Can I get a refund?
Yes, if you’re not satisfied with the course after your first week of participation, you can receive a refund (minus VAT and processing fees) up until a week after the first call.
How long will I have access to the course?
You'll have access to the course and forum for at least six months after the course ends to encourage you to finish it.
What’s the difference between this 6-week guided course and the self-guided course?
The courses consist of the same content.
This guided version of the course is for folks who are able to make it to the live, weekly calls. It’s for those who want the extra support that comes from coaching and interaction with the course guides plus practice time with other participants.
The self-guided course is, of course, guided by you, meaning you can start as soon as you want after purchasing the course, and you can go at your own pace. The self-guided course is for you if you’ve already got a tight schedule—you can tailor it to fit into your life however you’d like.

Stop pretending you’re not pretending.
Experiment with being radically honest.
