`This book is full of words to live by, emotional states to strive for.' Elle For decades, Western psychology has promised fulfilment through building and strengthening the ego. The ideal has been to establish a strong sense of self, constructed dna reinforced over a lifetime. But Buddhist psychiatrist Mark Epstein has found another way. He shows us that happiness doesn't come from acquiring this solid self. Instead, he demonstrates through moving case studies and reflections, how the only route to true happiness is letting go. Weaving together the wisdom of two worlds - Buddhism and Western psychotherapy - Epstein encourages us to relax our ever-vigilant mind in order to experience the freedom that only comes from relinquishing control. Highly personal and engaging, this book shows us the path to a more peaceful and spiritually satisfying life.
