About the Book

The Mindful Path: Combining Psychotherapy and Buddhist Practices

Have you ever noticed that feeling better—about yourself, your life circumstances, or your health —often takes enormous eort? Do results only stick for the short term because another curveball is thrown in your path before you can make substantive improvements? This cycle can seem particularly cruel if you are already overwhelmed by stress or managing a mental health problem like anxiety, depression, anger, or PTSD.

Perhaps you have tried psychotherapy but felt it didn’t work or something was missing. Or maybe you have sought spiritual guidance but were left unsure how to apply the ideas to your daily life. If you can relate to feeling disappointed by what you have tried before,?The Mindful Path: Combining Psychotherapy and Buddhist Practices?is for you.

In this insightful book, clinical psychologist and longtime Buddhist practitioner Michael Jones, PhD, shares a proven, holistic approach to healing and well-being honed over more than 35 years of client care. He gracefully weaves the evidence-based tools of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with the wise teachings of Buddhism, creating a unique and powerful mind-body-spirit resource.

With simple overviews of the primary concepts in modern CBT and ancient Buddhist philosophies, everyday examples, and step-by-step exercise instructions, you can learn transformative techniques, create greater self-awareness, improve emotion regulation, understand your patterns of thinking and feeling, and develop eective coping strategies. Because the practices target the mind and spirit together, creating much-needed balance, they’ve got staying power.

It’s time to take back control of your own well-being rather than have it controlled by circumstance. It’s time to live a more mindful and fullling life—free of anxiety, depression, and stress—starting now and for the long term. The Mindful Path awaits you.

Editorial Book Reviews

"The Mindful Path is a brilliant and simple exploration of how Eastern and Western philosophies can be integrated to help people grow and heal. For clinicians, the book elegantly explains practices and concepts for successfully working with clients and their issues. For individuals, it is a beautiful and practical synthesis of ideas and techniques to improve well-being, mental health, and quality of life. Dr. Jones articulates complex principles in ways that the reader can pragmatically use to heal and move past unhealthy beliefs and patterns. Packed with practical examples and exercises, this book deepened my understanding of concepts that, until now, I only knew intuitively."

"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."
