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 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.
A practice of mutual awareness and a shared out-loud meditation that allows us to connect more deeply, vulnerably and authentically.
Get Over Shit and BE Happy is a tailored process, curated over more 30 years of practice by Brad Blanton with the help of thousands 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, the perspective, and the practice of Radical Honesty to help you resolve the problems that are most important to you.

The Curriculum
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.
