MINDFULNESS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY 3CDs
by Thich Nhat Hanh (9781591794363)

Before you can help others, Thich Nhat Hanh teaches, you must first bring peace and a deep love of life into your own consciousness. Originally created for those in the helping professions, Mindfulness and Psychotherapy has proven profoundly helpful to anyone who wants to understand why we are at war with ourselves and one another ? and how to mend our conflicts. To the extent that psychotherapists are able to defuse the inner strife of others, they bring peace to the world at large ? which is precisely why these caregivers most urgently need the power of mindfulness. Mindfulness and Psychotherapy includes a special section on anger. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh sets aside the classic debate about suppression versus expression to offer a radically different way of working with anger, using time-tested techniques of breathing and walking meditation. A rich and heartfelt gift of sanity, Mindfulness and Psychotherapy can transform your relationships, your caregiving practice and your life.

One of the best known and most respected Zen masters in the world today, poet, and peace and human rights activist, Thich Nhat Hanh has led an extraordinary life. Born in central Vietnam in 1926 he joined the monkshood at the age of sixteen. The Vietnam War confronted the monasteries with the question of whether to adhere to the contemplative life and remain meditating in the monasteries, or to help the villagers suffering under bombings and other devastation of the war. Nhat Hanh was one of those who chose to do both, helping to found the "engaged Buddhism" movement. His life has since been dedicated to the work of inner transformation for the benefit of individuals and society.

Thich Nhat Hanh continues to live in Plum Village in the meditation community he founded, where he teaches, writes, and gardens; and he leads retreats worldwide on "the art of mindful living."
