Description
Just as a stream peacefully wanders through the natural world, over, around or between rocks, ROCK AND WATER provides skills to help you more effectively navigate the obstacles of life. Author, Scott Cooper, introduces 18 basic skills for enhancing and sustaining happiness that will uphold and carry inner peace and happiness from one day to the next - skills that are based on Scott Cooper's research in the fields of cognitive psychology and mindfulness/acceptance.
Cognitive psychology is grounded in the reality that our happiness is strongly influenced by our thinking. It's not so much a situation that brings unhappiness, but, rather, our perception of a situation. Mindfulness/acceptance practice is grounded in applying more nonreactive acceptance to daily challenges. Often, cognitive-behavioural psychology and mindfulness/acceptance practice are treated separately and in isolation. ROCK AND WATER provides these concepts in a complementary form applying two simple metaphors from nature:
? ROCK, the strong personal platform that reasonable thinking and
sensible beliefs can provide
? WATER, the peace that can come to our lives by learning to let
go of things we can't easily change or that don't matter.
In this new book, ROCK AND WATER, the author maintains the strong point of view that happiness is not enhanced by more "talk" about happiness, but by applying these conscious "hands-on" techniques that help you to cope with the inner sources of unhappiness - the pesky unpleasant thoughts and feelings that can come to us even if our lives are going well on the outside.
