An open-hearted life - Russell L Kolts

A
beloved Buddhist teacher and a psychologist specializing in
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) provide practical methods for living a
life filled with compassion.


A life
overflowing with compassion. It sounds wonderful in theory, but how do
you do it? This guide provides
practical methods to living with this
wonderful quality, based on traditional Buddhist teachings and on
methods from modern psychology--particularly a technique called
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). The methods presented by the two
authors--a psychotherapist and a Tibetan Buddhist nun--turn out to have a
good deal in common. In fact, they complement each other in wonderful
ways. Each of the 64 short chapters ends with a reflection or exercise
for putting compassion into practice in various life situations.
