ALCHEMY
HOW THE MIND CAN HEAL THE HEARTA WONDERFULLY CLEAR, COMPASSIONATE, AND INSIGHTFUL GUIDE
TO FREEING OURSELVES FROM DIFFICULT EMOTIONS.
Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovinghindness
Just as alchemists sought to transform lead into gold, we all have the natural ability to transform moments of con-
fusion and smodonall pain into inalahiful clactey,
Lovingly, clearly, Tara Bennett-Goleman shows how most of what troubles us falls into cen bs
tems or schemas, including perfectionism, vulne
therapy, she teaches us how to break free from such pat
ie emotional pat-
yi mistrust, and the fear of abandonment, Through schema
ns and replace them with cmpathy for ourselves and ath-
ers, and gives us the freedom to ke more ereative and alive
‘A New York Times bestseller, Emotional Alchemy explores te latest research in cognitive therapy and neuroscience,
including the “magic quarcersecond”: che moment in which it is possible for a thought to be “caught” before ic tums
into an emotional reaction; che moment during which we ean reject a self-defeating emotional impube. The program
then powerfully combines this science with ancient Buddhist wisdom that guides us to end our self-destructive habits
These reachings include the meditative awareness of mindfulness: an awareness that lets us ce things as they truly are
without distortion or judgment, enabling us to change not only our lives, but the very structure of our brains.
Wise and pragmatic, gentle and inspiring, this isa liberating journey for those who wish to free themselves from
suffering or help others on the way.
