Buddhism, The Cushion And The Couch

Buddhism, The Cushion And The Couch3.75 StarsThere are a few different styles of books on Buddhism. This one falls under the psychology school of thought on Buddhism.It's a good introduction and some in depth perspectives on Buddhism - the author comes at it from - and with - a psychologists slant - i.e. that with each Buddhist teaching there is a psychological aspect given.I liked the lessons and exercises that the book offers.I'm not a big tie in Buddhism with psychology kind of guy - I can see completely how they relate and it's just another interpretation of the Dharma or a look at the Dharma through the shrink filter.Buddhism In Ten seems to be a type of intro to Buddhism book as well as a self help book.
