Cutler, M.D., co-author, with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, of The Art of Happiness and The Art of Happiness at Work."As he mentions in his introduction, one of his greatest challenges as a practicing Tibetan Buddhist of some thirty years has been to reconcile two worldviews, those of Buddhism and Jung. As he went deeper into both these traditions, he became increasingly aware of what he describes as a journey, a path and a process. These increasingly subtle distinctions shed a different light on our self-actualization. This book tries to achieve a balance between these different traditions, a balance between commitment to a Buddhist practice and recognition of deep-seated psychological realities. Indeed it is quite possible to achieve remarkable insights from a lateral approach. This book is simply written and easy to follow. It is well recommended."
