Force of Mind, Song of Heart: Shaping Consciousness, Connection, and Compassionate Cooperation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781452591292)

Force of Mind, Song of Heart unveils an unparalleled look at personal relationships and the dynamic tension between the merging and separating that is every relationship. By learning how to see yourself as an emerging process of consciousness, and force of mind as an instrumental tool for creating the song of heart that is connection and the basis for every genuinely satisfying and positive relationship, you can learn to improve any personal relationship in your life, be it one with a spouse, parent, in-law, or other family member.

Revealing how your brain predisposes you to negative bias and errors in mental processing that often interfere with your capacity to connect, Force of Mind, Song of Heart uncovers how you can use the creative potential of your mind to redirect a negative and polarizing relationship dynamic as a positive and unifying one as you shape your thoughts, recollections, imaginings, and interactions with your self and others.

A stunning elucidation of the evolving dynamic that is every personal relationship, Force of Mind, Song of Heart is a practical response to His Holiness the Dalai Lama's call for actionable compassion. It shows you how to restore balance to a dynamic where disruptions in power-sharing and positive reciprocity cause you to push others away.

If you are struggling with a personal relationship right now and want to understand how to improve it, or if you are want practicable guidance for more purposeful and satisfying living, this book is for you.
