[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 745083, member: 23349"] One of my favorites is ‘The Buddha’s Brain’. It gets into the neuroscience of happiness and inner peace, connecting Buddhist tradition with modern neuroscience. There’s a workbook, too. It seems to connect well with my CBT therapy methods. In fiction, one of my favorites along these lines is ‘The Art of Racing in the Rain.’ It is a beautiful fable about a race car driver with some personal problems as told from the perspective of his dog. I read it ten years ago, but it has stayed with me. One of the lessons I remember is ‘the car goes where the eyes go’ - meaning the trajectory of your car (your life) is determined by what you choose to focus on. Copa, have you read any Tana French? I’ve just gotten into her Dublin Detective Agency series, and am reading The Witch Elm, her latest, now. I really like her writing and her characters. [/QUOTE]
