ABOUT THESE BOOKS
Books are a personal thing. Here is a small stack, which we like, which mainly talks about psychotherapy and Buddhism. Whilst all the writers have something different to say, what joins them is their enthusiasm in the belief that psychotherapy and Buddhism have something important to add to each other.
