Constructive Living combines two of the most popular forms of therapy in Japan into one profoundly effective approach that will not only enhance your productivity, but also bring a flexible, responsive mind—a Zen-like tranquility—a to your personal and professional life.

Discover the life-changing potential of Morita therapy (based on taking right action in the moment) and Naikan therapy (a way to cultivate your awareness of how the world supports you) in three information-packed sessions. Join David Reynolds to discover:
• Three instant remedies for facing your negative feelings
• Six steps for doing what needs to be done right now, no matter how you feel
• The "Stairs of Enlightenment"—the way beyond inner confusion and self-absorbed suffering to increased awareness
• Four hours of training with the leading authority on Naikan and Morita therapies in the West

A sensible approach to better emotional health, Constructive Living can help you live more effectively and see your life more clearly, no matter how you feel.

Absolute necessity for change

I've struggled with self help books in the past because they focus on our emotions and how we are feeling in the moment. This approach can often slow down or stall much needed personal progress. By learning the difference between what we can and cannot control and be flexible to accept what is but still do what needs to be done, we can accomplish our goals. I will be listening to this book at least 5 more times because there is so much wisdom to be taken in!

Book is AWESOME- The narration...not so much

I LOVE this book and usually read it at least once a year. I thought it might be nice to get the audible version to use during exercise. Boy was I wrong. The reader sounded like a laid back surfer dude- who could never get the right pacing or inflection. I guess it’s too much to ask that the narrator could at least feign interest in the material, it is after all just a job. Thank goodness for Audible refunds!

Practical and Honest.

There are few books that will help an individual as much as Constructive Living will.

practical living

Practical, common sense way of living through action and appreciation for all that we have been given.

Life changing book

This book was recommended to me over 20 years ago while I was recovering from an eating disorder and substance abuse and it along with many other things helped me to engage in a new way of life that includes this much healthier mindset of how to live. I enjoyed listening to it on audible all these years later and got so much more out of it even now. Grateful, thank you.
