The Misleading Mind: How We Create Our Own Problems and How Buddhist Psychology Can Help Us Solve Them

Author: Karuna CaytonPublisher: New World LibraryPaperback:ISBN 10: 1577319427ISBN 13: 978-1577319429Buddhism asserts that we each have the potential to free ourselves from the prison of our problems. As practiced for more than twenty-six hundred years, the process involves working with, rather than against, our depression, anxiety, and compulsions. We do this by recognizing the habitual ways our minds perceive and react — the way they mislead. The lively exercises and inspiring real-world examples Cayton provides can help you transform intractable problems and neutralize suffering by cultivating a radically liberating self-understanding.
