With a voice like a wise, compassionate aunt we all wish we had, Salzberg conveys principles of lovingkindness, mindfulness & connection thru stories and simple exercises. Learn about the RAIN protocol to handle negative emotions: RECOGNIZE, ACKNOWLEDGE, INVESTIGATE with a sense of openness & curiosity, and NON-IDENTIFY with it -- it's not you! This is not just one of the foundations of Buddhist psychology, but also of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy -- excellent life advice that totally works.
