Echoing the style of Kundera and the insights of Jung, with dashes of \u003ci\u003eThe God of Small Things\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThoughts Without a Thinker\u003c\/i\u003e, this timely book alternates between discursive sections on Buddhist topics and engrossing fictional scenes between a psychotherapist and a patient. Sometimes going so far as to directly address the reader, the book shows how of any one of us can intimately explore his or her mind. By encouraging readers to create a stare of inquiry and allowing them to put themselves into hypothetical situations-such as participating in therapy or engaging in Buddhist practices-the book shows us how to discover our inner thoughts and then act on them in positive ways. At once informative and evocative, \u003ci\u003eMinding What Matters\u003c\/i\u003e offers an entrancing vision of, in Robert Coles's words, \"what is possible to do and to be.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Langan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0861713532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780861713530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wisdom Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.32h x 6.14w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/29\/2006 pg. 56","brand":"Robert Langan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447802900735,"sku":"9780861713530","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0229730c-63f7-42e8-aeb0-ed6d05a5789e.jpg?v=1777234916","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/minding-what-matters-robert-langan-9780861713530","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
