An Open-Hearted Life by Russell Kolts

An Open-Hearted Life by Russell Kolts

A beloved Buddhist teacher and a psychologist specializing in Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) provide practical methods for living a life filled with compassion.

A life overflowing with compassion. It sounds wonderful in theory, but how do you do it? This guide provides practical methods to living with this wonderful quality, based on traditional Buddhist teachings and on methods from modern psychology--particularly a technique called Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). The methods presented by the two authors--a psychotherapist and a Tibetan Buddhist nun--turn out to have a good deal in common. In fact, they complement each other in wonderful ways. Each of the 64 short chapters ends with a reflection or exercise for putting compassion into practice in various life situations.

Thubten Chodron, a Tibetan Buddhist nun born in the United States, travels the world teaching and directing meditation retreats. She is the author of Buddhism for Beginners, Dealing with Anger, How to Liberate Your Mind, Open Heart, Clear Mind, and Controlling the Mind, and is known for her straightforward and practical interpretations of the Buddha's teachings. She is a resident of Seattle, Washington.
