Thoughts without a Thinker: Psychotherapy from a Buddhist Perspective

Blending the lessons of psychotherapy with Buddhist teachings, Mark Epstein offers a revolutionary understanding of what constitutes a healthy emotional life

“One of the most sophisticated integrations of the therapeutic and spiritual disciplines.” —New York Times

The line between psychology and spirituality has blurred as clinicians, their patients, and religious seekers explore new perspectives on the self. A landmark contribution to the field of psychoanalysis, Thoughts Without a Thinker describes how Buddhist teachings in particular have reshaped understandings of our minds and behavior. Drawing upon his own experiences as a psychotherapist and meditator, New York-based psychiatrist Mark Epstein lays out the path to meditation-inspired healing. Thoughts Without a Thinker offers a revolutionary understanding of what constitutes a healthy emotional life.
