The bestselling author of Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart combines a memoir of his own journey as a student of Buddhism and psychology with a powerful message about how exactly cultivating true self-awareness and adopting a Buddhist knowledge of change can free the mind.
Before Mark Epstein became a medical student at Harvard and started out training as a psychiatrist, he immersed himself in Buddhism through experience with such influential Buddhist teachers as Ram Dass, Joseph Goldstein, and Jack Kornfield. The positive outlook of Buddhism and the meditative principle of residing in the moment came to influence his study and practice of psychotherapy profoundly. Going on Being is Epstein’s memoir of his early years as a student of Buddhism and of how Buddhism shaped his approach to therapy, as well as a practical guide to what sort of Buddhist knowledge of psychological problems makes change for the better possible.
Going on Being is an intimate chronicle of the evolution of spirit and psyche, and a highly inviting guide for anybody seeking a fresh path and a fresh outlook on life.
