Summary Note	The ancient and scientific secrets to getting unstuck from negative habits. Joining Western psychological science and traditional Buddhism, experimental psychologist and Zen monk Douglas Cheolsoeng Gentile describes how our minds can be simultaneously our greatest weakness and greatest asset. We are controlled by both external forces and internal habits of mind, while simultaneously believing ourselves to be 'free'. This conundrum can be solved by seeing where our biases begin, how our natural ability to learn traps us, and how we unintentionally undermine the progress we intend to make. This book can help you find freedom from negative habits, relationship patterns, and feelings. You don't need to be Buddhist to be able to use these ideas to be happier, just as you don't need to be a mathematician to be able to add. You just need to learn to have an accurate understanding of the concepts and processes and to make them work for you.
