  <description><![CDATA[Can you remember the childhood feeling of living happily moment to moment, without intrusive aims or fears? Psychoanalyst D.W. Winnicott called it the state of &quot;going on being.&quot; Bestselling author Mark Epstein sees a similarity with the Buddhist practice of mindfulness, of just watching the mind and body without holding on or pushing away.  Epstein excels at finding the similarities between Buddhist meditation and psychotherapy, and he is in top form in <em>Going On Being</em>. Offering an autobiographical account of his own gradual discovery of this nexus, Epstein tells of his encounters with such luminaries as Ram Dass, Joseph Goldstein, and Jack Kornfield, ruminating on them and then showing how his insights shed light on his work as a psychoanalyst. Ultimately, he finds that psychoanalysis can function as a kind of interpersonal meditation, helping the patient see aspects of the self that are hidden behind habitual ways of reacting to the world. <em>Going On Being</em> shows that, if done well, psychotherapy can offer some of the same benefits as Buddhist meditation.

    <![CDATA[Can you remember the childhood feeling of living happily moment to moment, without intrusive aims or fears? Psychoanalyst D.W. Winnicott called it the state of &quot;going on being.&quot; Bestselling author Mark Epstein sees a similarity with the Buddhist practice of mindfulness, of just watching the mind and body without holding on or pushing away.  Epstein excels at finding the similarities between Buddhist meditation and psychotherapy, and he is in top form in <em>Going On Being</em>. Offering an autobiographical account of his own gradual discovery of this nexus, Epstein tells of his encounters with such luminaries as Ram Dass, Joseph Goldstein, and Jack Kornfield, ruminating on them and then showing how his insights shed light on his work as a psychoanalyst. Ultimately, he finds that psychoanalysis can function as a kind of interpersonal meditation, helping the patient see aspects of the self that are hidden behind habitual ways of reacting to the world. <em>Going On Being</em> shows that, if done well, psychotherapy can offer some of the same benefits as Buddhist meditation. Eureka! <em>--Brian Bruya</em> ]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a great book to listen to in the car. Dr. Epstein brought a lot of clarity to some of the more mysterious aspects of Buddhism.  He is a psychiatrist and thus, for my western mind which is more familiar with therapy speak, he is able to bridge the gap between psychoanalysis and mindfulness.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Mark has a great knack for explaining Eastern Thought to Western minds.  His extensive background in psychology &amp; Buddhism allows him to understand the Buddha's teachings from a psychoanalytic perspective.  <br/>This book reads like Freud and the Dali Lama having a conversation together. <br/>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Can you remember the childhood feeling of living happily moment to moment, without intrusive aims or fears? Psychoanalyst D.W. Winnicott called it the state of &quot;going on being.&quot; Bestselling author Mark Epstein sees a similarity with the Buddhist practice of mindfulness, of just watching the mind and body without holding on or pushing away.  Epstein excels at finding the similarities between Buddhist meditation and psychotherapy, and he is in top form in <em>Going On Being</em>. Offering an autobiographical account of his own gradual discovery of this nexus, Epstein tells of his encounters with such luminaries as Ram Dass, Joseph Goldstein, and Jack Kornfield, ruminating on them and then showing how his insights shed light on his work as a psychoanalyst. Ultimately, he finds that psychoanalysis can function as a kind of interpersonal meditation, helping the patient see aspects of the self that are hidden behind habitual ways of reacting to the world. <em>Going On Being</em> shows that, if done well, psychotherapy can offer some of the same benefits as Buddhist meditation.
