description: Buddhism asserts that we each have the potential to free ourselves from the prison of our problems. As practiced for more than twenty-six hundred years the process involves working with  rather than against our depression anxiety and compulsions. We do this by recognizing the habitual ways our minds perceive and react  the way they mislead. The lively exercises and inspiring real-world examples Cayton provides can help you transform intractable problems and neutralize suffering by cultivating a radically liberating self-understanding.
