The Mindful Path by Michael Jones, Ph.D.

An essential and evidence-based bridge between body, mind, and spirit, The Mindful Path: Combining Psychotherapy and Buddhist Practices by Michael Jones Ph.D. presents the surprising overlap between the tenets of Buddhism and the foundations of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Using the language of both belief systems, Jones expertly shows how they can be used in conjunction for meaningful relief from anxiety, sadness, anger, depression, and stress, through two introductory sections and eight comparative chapters, along with personal anecdotes and layman-level breakdowns. A comprehensive guide for life and a modern fusion of seemingly disparate philosophies, this is an accessible and revelatory read.
