The Misleading Mind

How We Create Our Own Problems and How Buddhist Psychology Can Help Us Solve Them

Buddhism asserts that we each have the potential to free ourselves from the prison of our problems. As practiced for more than 2,600 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.

Fantastic

Loved this book, exactly what I was looking for. A hybrid western/Buddhist take on mind training.

the perspective and way of explaining the way to see the reality of our minds manipulation of itself.
