The Six Myths We Live By by Karuna Cayton

The Six Myths We Live By by Karuna Cayton

Buddhist wisdom for everyday problems rooted in Buddhist philosophy and meditation, 6 Myths We Live By shows us how to uncover our misperceptions and leads us on a path to self-development.

The truth is you probably believe all sorts of myths, but you don't even know it. To escape any hardship, any suffering or discomfort, we all believe myths about how the world works and how we live in that world. In 6 Myths We Live By, therapist and longtime Buddhist practitioner Karuna Cayton guides us through six common myths that may give us comfort, but actually only perpetuate our problems:

• the myth of reality;
• the myth of identity;
• the myth of permanence;
• the myth of randomness;
• the myth of happiness;
• the myth of only living once.

Cayton takes us through each of these myths using real-world examples and draws upon Buddhist principles, philosophy, psychology, and meditation practices to show how we can wake up to reality. By planting a seed of doubt about the beliefs that we've always thought were true, we can open our eyes and deepen our relationship with the way we see our life, our potential, and the nature of our struggles and achievements.

For over twenty years Karuna Cayton has worked as a psychotherapist, business psychologist, and coach to help people achieve a more balanced life. He lived in Nepal for twelve years, where he studied Tibetan Buddhism.
