The classic of Buddhist psychology. How can we let go of suffering and unfold our highest potential? In this classic of spiritual literature, Jack Kornfield, one of the most significant Buddhist teachers of our time, conveys the fundamental teachings of Buddhism in an easily understandable way. He views Buddhism as a great psychological concept, rather than a religion. By considering the interactions between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, Buddhist psychology understands mental issues not as disorders, but as part of the human experience—a path of growth that leads to greater awareness, more self-realization, and ultimately to an awakened heart. An important book about healing and at the same time a tribute to Buddha as the greatest healer.
