Summary
In Open to Desire: Embracing a Lust for Life, psychiatrist and author Mark Epstein, M.D., explores the interplay between Buddhism and Western psychotherapy to uncover a fresh perspective on desire. Unlike traditional views that perceive desire as a source of suffering, Epstein encourages embracing it as a path to greater fulfillment. Through profound insights and case studies, Epstein demonstrates how acknowledging and understanding our desires can lead to self-discovery and a more vibrant, connected life. This transformative work invites readers to view desire not as a hindrance but as a means to attain emotional richness and personal growth.
