In 'Emotional Alchemy', Tara Bennett-Goleman synthesises for the very first time, two schools of thought - psychotherapy and Buddhism. She takes the Buddhist principle of "Mindfulness", which can be best summed up by the phrase, "live for today for yesterday is over and tomorrow may never come", and combines it with the therapeutic tools of examination and investigation. In her own words, "both Buddhism and psychotherapy share one goal, freeing ourselves from the hold of disturbing emotions". The result is a transformation from emotional confusion into emotional clarity. Highly practical, with step-by-step instructions, and real-life applications, 'Emotional Alchemy' puts the theory of 'Emotional Intelligence' into practice.
