Emotional Alchemy: How the Mind Can
Heal the Heart
by Tara Bennett-Goleman
From the Publisher
Alchemists sought to transform lead
into gold. In the same way, says Tara
Bennett-Goleman, we all have the
natural ability to turn our moments of
confusion or emotional pain into
insightful clarity.
Emotional Alchemy maps the mind and
shows how, according to recent
advances in cognitive therapy, most of
what troubles us falls into ten basic
emotional patterns, including fear of
abandonment, social exclusion (the
feeling we don't belong), and
vulnerability (the feeling that some
catastrophe will occur). Through the
simple practice of mindfulness taught
in this book, we can free ourselves of
such patterns and replace them with
empathy for ourselves and others, as
well as the freedom to be more
creative and alive.
You'll find the very latest research in
neuron science—including the
neurological "magic quarter second,"
during which it is possible for a thought
to be "caught" before it turns into an
emotional reaction. And you'll discover
the fascinating parallels of this science
with the wisdom of ancient Buddhism
— for Buddhists knew centuries ago
that we can end our self-destructive
habits.
This remarkable book also teaches the
practice of mindfulness, an awareness
that lets us see things as they truly are
without distortion or judgment, giving
the most insightful explanation of how
mindfulness can change not only our
lives, but the very structure of our
brains. Here is a beautifully rendered
work full of Buddhist wisdom and
stories of how people have used
mindfulness to conquer their self-
defeating habits. The result is a whole
new way of approaching our
relationships, work, and internal lives.
