Going to Pieces without Falling Apart by Mark Epstein, M

Mark Epstein blends the wisdom gleaned from psychiatric training, clinical work, Buddhist study and meditation in this accessible, liberating discussion of happiness and the machinations of the mind. We tend to suffer from the notions of “should” - we should be able to interact with life in a certain way, we should have certain habits or abilities of mind, we should be…. happy. This books helps to explain why certain things, like the ego, get in the way. Once we move from self-judgment to understanding, peace and ease are closer and more attainable. We are deeply grateful for the wisdom shared in this text.
