Going On Being (Abridged): Buddhism and the Way of Change--A Positive Psychology for the West Audiobook

" Thought provoking book about Winnicott/object relations theory and Buddhism "

" Very honest book. Great exploration of psychology and Buddhism "

" This was a great book to listen to in the car. Dr. Epstein brought a lot of clarity to some of the more mysterious aspects of Buddhism. He is a psychiatrist and thus, for my western mind which is more familiar with therapy speak, he is able to bridge the gap between psychoanalysis and mindfulness. "

" so far i like the authors style of writing and the content "

" I LOVED this book. :) It was one I bought hardcover and have read over and over. "

" A life changing book. Profound and, perhaps paradoxically, an easy and pleasant read. "

" This is essentially Epstein's spiritual autobiography. It weaves a convincing fabric from the threads of Buddhist philosophy and psychotherapy. I found it highly readable and entertaining, and very helpful in understanding more of Buddhist psychology. Epstein is one of my favorite Buddhist authors. "

" For some reason, the author and I are not quite on the same wavelength. "

" Yet another startling book from Epstein, this on re-read was more enlightening that the first time through. I cannot reocmmend his books enough, starting with the breakthrough THOUGHTS WITHOUT A THINKER. Buddhist psychology and western psychology has no better friend and matchmaker. "

" One of my earlier favorites "

" Philosophical rather than pragmatic. This is not a self-help book. It is about the author's journey in Buddhism, meditation, and psychotherapy. "

" Decent ideas, short on pragmatic application (beyond 'meditate'). "

" lucid and thoughtful. great introduction to Buddhism "

" Epstein's writing style is earnest and accessible. Anyone interested in the intersection of Buddhist psychology and Western psychotherapy will gobble up Epstein's books like leftover Thanksgiving turkey. "

" Need to reread the chapter on "The Klesha of I am not" and the one that follows. "
