Description:
Dr. Leifer, a psychiatrist, borrows from his Buddhist practice and his clinical experience to offer profound insights into the sources of anxiety and depression in the West. He makes a compelling case that the projects we develop to make us happy become the sources of our happiness. Meditation can help reduce the three "poisons" that make us miserable--desire, aversion, and ignorance.
