Proper use of emotions

This is the first title that I have ever read from Swami Rama(who was a trained physician in his native land in India and has degrees from other institutions such as Oxford) and his disciple Swami Ajaya who is American trained psychotherapist. One thing to note is that this book comes from more of a Eastern point of view and represents Swami Rama's education from the Himilayian Masters more than any type of textbook western education. In the book which I believe was mostly written by his disciple a study of man's psychology is presented from the standpoint of Yoga. In his book he contradicts many of the foundational beliefs of western psychology, which I believe is false anyway. The great benefit in reading this book is that it give a deeper more dynamic view of Man and his/her emotions than the western paradigm. Highly recommeded.
