Description

The Zen of Therapy is a deeply personal and wise memoir that explores the intersection of psychotherapy and meditation. Drawing on decades of experience, Dr. Mark Epstein reflects on his practice and how his Buddhist background influences his work with patients.

Through a year's worth of selected sessions, Dr. Epstein reveals how the therapy relationship can be seen as a spiritual friendship, and how mindfulness can create the necessary conditions for inner peace. He shares his insights on how Western therapy can be a two-person meditation, and how a therapist can help patients realize the magic that runs through their lives.

By touching the ground of our own being, we can come home to ourselves. This book is a reminder that a deeper and more companionable way of life is possible, and that a more profound understanding of ourselves and our place in the world is within reach.
