Abstract | Now in paperback,the bestselling author of Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart combines memoir & spiritual guide to blend psychotherapy & Buddhism.
Before Mark Epstein became a medical student at Harvard & began training as a psychiatrist,he immersed himself in Buddhism through experiences with such influential Buddhist teachers as Ram Dass, Joseph Goldstein,& Jack Kornfield. The positive outlook of Buddhism & the meditative principle of living in the moment came to influence his study & practice of psychotherapy profoundly.
Going on Being is Epstein's memoir of his early years as a student of Buddhism & of how Buddhism shaped his approach to therapy,as well as a practical guide to how a Buddhist understanding of psychological problems makes change for the better possible. In psychotherapy,Epstein discovered a vital interpersonal parallel to meditation,but he also recognized Western psychology's tendency to focus on problems, either by attempting to eliminate them or by going into them more deeply,& how this too often results in a frustrating "paralysis of analysis." Buddhism opened his eyes to another way of change.
Drawing on his own life & stories of his patients, he illuminates the concept of "going on being," the capacity we all have to live in a fully aware & creative state unimpeded by constraints or expectations. By chronicling how Buddhism & psychotherapy shaped his own growth & showing how change is possible by opening up our own capacities for self-awareness, Mark Epstein has written an intimate chronicle of the evolution of spirit & psyche,& a highly inviting guide for anyone seeking a new path & a new outlook on life. |
