ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Alchemists sought to transform lead into gold. In the same way, says Tara
Bennett- Goleman, we all have the natural ability to turn our moments of
confusion or emotional pain into insightful clarity.
Emotional Alchemy maps the mind and shows how, according to recent advances
in cognitive therapy, most of what troubles us falls into ten basic emotional
patterns, including fear of abandonment, social exclusion (the feeling that
we don’t belong), and vulnerability (the feeling that some catastrophe will
occur). This remarkable book also teaches us how we can free ourselves of
such patterns and replace them with empathy for ourselves and others through
the simple practice of mindfulness, an awareness that lets us see things as
they truly are without distortion or judgment. Emotional Alchemy provides an
insightful explanation of how mindfulness can change not only our lives, but
the very structure of our brains, giving us the freedom to be more creative
and alive.
Here is a beautifully rendered work full of Buddhist wisdom and stories of
how people have used mindfulness to conquer their self-defeating habits. The
result is a whole new way of approaching our relationships, work, and
internal lives.
