Thoughts Without a Thinker

by Mark Epstein

"A decade ago, this pathbreaking book launched an explosion of interest in how Eastern spirituality can enhance Western psychology. Since then, the worlds of Buddhism and psychotherapy have been forged into a revolutionary new understanding of what constitutes a healthy emotional life. In his introduction to this tenth anniversary edition, Mark Epstein reflects on this revolution and considers how it is likely to evolve in the future."--Page 4 of cover.
