At a time when mental health and well-being are becoming increasingly important, Buddhism offers valuable insights and practices that can help us live more fulfilling and balanced lives. Buddhist self-help, as presented in this book, is based on the fundamental principles of Buddhism, including mindfulness, compassion, and the cultivation of wisdom. However, these principles are not presented as dogmatic truths, but as tools that everyone can try and use for themselves. This book is aimed at anyone looking for effective methods to cope with stress, anxiety, and other challenges of modern life. It offers a science-based introduction to Buddhist self-help and shows how these practices can be integrated into everyday life. While mindfulness has now become mainstream as an effective tool for improving performance and well-being, the real causes of many modern ailments (loss of meaning, depression, anxiety) were already precisely described by Buddha: clinging to a rigid self-concept and ignorance of dependent origination, which can precisely explain the dynamic processes of our experience. The chapters of this book cover various aspects of Buddhist self-help, including mindfulness meditation, compassion practice and the cultivation of wisdom. Each chapter offers a detailed explanation of the respective practice, its scientific basis, and practical instructions for implementation in everyday life. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking for a deeper understanding and practical application of Buddhist teachings. It can help you discover the wisdom of the Buddha for yourself and integrate it into your own life.
