Emotional Alchemy: How the Mind Can Heal the Heart
|
|
New York, New York: Harmony Books, 2001. Second Printing. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. Slight edge curl to dust jacket, otherwise fine. " According to ancient legends, alchemists use a magical philosopher's stone to transmute lead into gold. In Emotional Alchemy, Tara Bennett-Goleman shows readers how they can use this alchemist metaphor to transform emotional confusion (lead) into insightful clarity (gold). And what does the magic stone represent? 'Mindfulness,' a lifelong practice that can bring readers more joy and contentment than the gold, according to Bennett-Goleman. 'Mindfulness means seeing things as they are without trying to change them,' she writes. 'The point is to dissolve our reactions to disturbing emotions, being careful not to reject the emotion itself'" (Amazon). ISBN: 0-609-60752-9. more information

Open to Desire: Embracing a Lust for Life: Insights from Buddhism and Psychotherapy
|
|
|
New York, New York: Gotham Books, 2005. Trade Paperback. As New/No Jacket as Issued. "Psychiatrist Epstein offers a novel reinterpretation of the thinking of both the Buddha and Freud about desire. Contrary to the popular view that these two major figures taught the danger of desire and the necessity of renunciation, Epstein, author of three popular books on Buddhism, argues that it is clinging--holding on to some person, object or experience--rather than desire that causes suffering. Instead, the psychiatrist says, desire is a human urging that offers a path toward enlightenment. When rightly seen, desire can lead to sensing both the bliss and emptiness that Buddhism teaches" (Publishers Weekly). ISBN: 0-7394-6702-6. more information
