Critics Review
“An amazingly helpful book … Aronson realizes the value of psychotherapy, Theravada, and Tibetan Buddhism, and weaves them together so that, even outside their respective cultural contexts, their advantages are experienced and their pitfalls avoided.“—Jeffrey Hopkins, Ph.D., author of Maps of the Profound and Cultivating Compassion
“As a psychotherapist and Buddhist scholar and teacher, Harvey B. Aronson has a lot of wisdom to share that will help Western Dharma practitioners to establish a healthy, clear foundation for achieving liberation. Aronson raises important questions and provides helpful insights about complications that can occur when Eastern and Western cultures come together. I have been waiting a long time for this book.“—Geshe Rinpoche, author of Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep
