The Wise Heart: A Guide to the Universal Teachings of Buddhist Psychology [B0690]

2008 HCDJ with minor wear. A guide to the transformative power of Buddhist psychology-for meditators and mental health professionals, Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. You have within you unlimited capacities for extraordinary love, for joy, for communion with life, and for unshakable freedom-and here is how to awaken them. In The Wise Heart, celebrated author and psychologist Jack Kornfield offers the most accessible, comprehensive, and illuminating guide to Buddhist psychology ever published in the West. Here is a vision of radiant human dignity, a journey to the highest expression of human possibility-and a practical path for realizing it in our own lives.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Finished this and restarted it at the same sitting. A remarkable distillation of Buddhist practice. The mindfulness movement is an outgrowth of the work of Jack Kornfield and many others, to bring insight and conscious awareness to western culture. A fabulous book and accompaniment to my meditation practice."; "A wonderful resource. A book you return to time and time again for nurturing and grounding."; "This is a wonderful, thoughtful resource for students of buddhism. Mr. Kornfield explains concepts clearly and provides excellent examples of these concepts in action. It's not only a wonderful book to read cover to cover, but to pick up time after time to re-read chapters that are relevant to one's current situation in life."; "Excellent book on a Buddhist approach to psychology and healing. Topics are introduced in an easy to understand way, with interesting stories of clients the author has met and guided as well as info and insights into the author's own past struggles. A wise and compassionate book."
