London England / New York, Continuum, 2002. Reprint, Binding: Soft Cover, Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 0826465099 Paperback Paperback. Going on Being. Inside cover page clipped. This book is the author's memoir of his early years as a student of Buddhism and how it influenced his approach to therapy. It is also a practical guide to how a Buddhist understanding of psycvhological problems makes change for the better possible. In contrast to Western psychology's tendency to focus on 'problems', which too often results in a frustrating 'paralysis of analysis', he illuminates the concept of 'going on being', the capacity we all have to live in a fully aware and creative state unimpeded by constraints or expectations. 225 pp.
