Synopsis

What if I told you there was a path you could follow to take back control of your own well-being, rather than have it be controlled by circumstance?

Perhaps you have tried psychotherapy but felt it didn’t work or something was missing. Or maybe you have sought spiritual guidance but were left unsure how to apply the ideas to your daily life. You are on a journey to move toward a life that has more consistent happiness and well-being. You want something to change but are not sure how to start.

In this insightful book, clinical psychologist and longtime Buddhist practitioner Michael Jones, PhD, shares a proven, holistic approach to healing and well-being honed over more than 35 years of client care. He gracefully weaves the evidence-based tools of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with the wise teachings of Buddhism, creating a unique and powerful mind-body-spirit resource.

With simple overviews of the primary concepts in modern CBT and ancient Buddhist philosophies, everyday examples, and step-by-step exercise instructions, you can learn transformative techniques, create greater self-awareness, improve emotion regulation, understand your patterns of thinking and feeling, and develop effective coping strategies. Practice the tools and concepts in this book and you will experience a more consistent feeling of well-being.

It’s time to take back control of your own well-being rather than have it controlled by circumstance. It’s time to live a more mindful and fulfilling life—free of anxiety, depression, and stress—starting now and for the long term. The Mindful Path awaits you.
