In <I>Emotional Alchemy</I>, Tara Bennett-Goleman shows readers how they can use this alchemist metaphor to transform emotional confusion (lead) into insightful clarity (gold). And what does the magic stone represent? "Mindfulness," a lifelong practice that can bring readers more joy and contentment than the gold, according to Bennett-Goleman. "Mindfulness means seeing things as they are without trying to change them," she writes. "The point is to dissolve our reactions to disturbing emotions, being careful not to reject the emotion itself."<p> Those who have never entered this practice will find a concise and articulate teacher in Bennett-Goleman, who leads national workshops with her husband, author Daniel Goleman (<I>Emotional Intelligence</I>). What make this book such an exciting breakthrough is Bennett-Goleman's ability to apply Buddhist mindfulness to Western psychology. She shows how emotional alchemy can be used to address typical habits, such as mistrust, fear of rejection, feeling unlovable. Readers will also find fascinating scientific facts on how emotional alchemy affects brain chemistry and even cancer survival. <I>--Gail Hudson</I> 264643 2001 Emotional Alchemy: How the Mind Can Heal the Heart total:90|5:26|4:37|3:21|2:6|1:0| 90 353 176 18 3 0 false false Wed Oct 07 06:15:11 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 05:54:46 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 06:15:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Apr 28 06:59:23 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 07:01:21 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jan 25 13:40:05 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 13:41:15 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 11:43:57 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 12:33:23 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Sep 08 12:46:52 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 08 12:53:43 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 07:13:41 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 13:24:59 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Jul 18 08:05:25 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 08:06:45 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Jan 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Apr 05 06:17:17 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 05 06:19:24 -0700 2008
