The Misleading Mind: How We Create Our Own Problems and How Buddhist Psychology Can Help Us Solve Them

Written by Karuna Cayton

Narrated by Stephen R. Thorne

Buddhism asserts that we each have the potential to free ourselves from the prison of our problems. As practiced for more than twenty-six hundred years, the process involves working with, rather than against, our depression, anxiety, and compulsions. We do this by recognizing the habitual ways our minds perceive and react—the way they mislead. The lively exercises and inspiring real-world examples Cayton provides can help you transform intractable problems and neutralize suffering by cultivating a radically liberating self-understanding.

[dazzyj_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A marvellously lucid explanation of the essentials of Buddhist thought, dusted over ever so lightly with a sugar coating of modern Western psychology.
