Metta: The Map, the Formula, the Equations

Metta: The Map, The Formula, and The Equations, by clinical psychologist Dr. Barbara Wright, is the culmination of 30 years of private practice, study, and Buddhist meditation. In her new book she uses "Metta," which means "loving-kindness for all" or "universal benevolence," as the primary means to help individuals, couples, corporations, and professionals of all disciplines reduce stress and resolve conflict within their respective milieus.The centerpiece of Dr. Wright's original work, The Metta Map, is described in detail along with inspiring and entertaining illustrations for applying it in a wide variety of contexts. Using the Map as a physical tool for working through stressful intrapersonal and interpersonal situations, participants - as well as readers - are able to discover where they are now, both individually and as a group, and ultimately find out how to skillfully realize their intentions.To quote Dr. Wright, "What we are offering here is a three-dimensional system that provides a Map with both opportunities and guidelines for transformation; a Formula for 'True Happiness'; and a series of nine Equations that can illuminate your skill for creating well-being in your own life - as well as facilitating it in the lives of others. Two sample Equations are 'Never Stand Alone = Never Being Afraid' and 'Kindness = Cost Effective.' These help lead the reader and practitioner to the fundamental understanding that we - and our clients - don't ever have to be left alone in a quandary, wondering what to do next; and that by being kind we produce the greatest results."The new book, which is the basic text for Dr. Wright's Metta Workshops and Seminars worldwide, will change forever your way of looking at stress, conflict, and your inward journeys.
