Atara Weisberger-How To Soul: Healing Yourself is an Inside Job (From Criticism to Curiosity)
Sunday, 24 August, 2025
Atara Weisberger's book, How To Soul, that she co-authored with Rabbi Dov Lipman, is a groundbreaking guide that blends ancient wisdom with modern insights to help you reconnect with your soul. Through relatable stories, practical exercises and guided meditations, this book provides a roadmap for living authentically and joyfully.According to Atara, the first thing we need to do in order to live a life full of happiness, is to create an authentic relationship with ourselves. We need to be real with ourselves about who we are--our values and beliefs; our strengths and weaknesses; our likes and dislikes; who we currently are and who we genuinely want to be. Once we know ourselves, we will begin to let go of judgements. We will stop judging ourselves and start accepting ourselves exactly as we are. Atara says that wherever we are right now is exactly where we need to be. We are ok right now, just as we are. Once we stop judging ourselves, we will stop judging others. Once we accept ourselves, we will be more accepting of others. Change the criticism to curiosity. Get curious and ask yourself questions, instead of beating yourself up about a mistake or a destructive pattern. Find out why you are doing a certain behavior. Once we connect with ourselves, we need to connect with G-d. We need to know that G-d loves us exactly as we are. Knowing ourselves deeply, and having an intimate connection with Hashem, is the key to living a fulfilled life.Atara advises us to get in touch with our soul in order to find out who we really are, and in what directly we truly want to go. Our minds are so filled with chaos--thoughts, feelings and emotions all over the place. Once we get our minds and bodies quiet, we can listen into that calm quiet voice. That is the voice of our soul. (The loud, critical voice is never our soul. Don't listen to that voice.)At the end of our conversation, Atara leads us through a beautiful guided meditation to calm ourselves and guide our thoughts inward so that we can reconnect to our soul.Contact: atrebbetzins@gmail.com Vera Kessler (host of America's Top Rebbetzins) is a certified life coach.
