This book by the well-known American writer, psychotherapist, and meditation master Jack Kornfield is devoted to the topic of how a person advances along the spiritual path of self-discovery and self-improvement. The foundation of the system of inner work offered in the book is a Buddhist meditative practice. The book is written in a simple and accessible form, taking into account the problems facing modern people who don’t want to lose touch with reality and strive to find harmony in the flow of life.
An experienced psychologist, Jack Kornfield, in presenting in detail meditative methods of self-control and wakefulness, gives pride of place to the concept of love and the heart—without which, in his view, any system of improvement loses its meaning.
Undoubtedly, this engaging book, radiating warmth and love for people, will be interesting and useful not only to those who are interested in Buddhism, but to everyone who wants to change their life for the better.
