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.

Angel of Fear is a timely corrective to the shallow "cures" for stress and anxiety that permeate our culture. It is a challenge to a greater view, and a practical guide to calm the mind and heal the nervous system with methods that have proven effective for hundreds of workshop participants. With his unique integral approach, Albert Buhr presents insightful solutions to the crisis of fear that psychiatry has failed to quell with its quick-fix suppression of symptoms. He exhorts us not to become fearless, but to face and befriend fear, and in so doing, embrace life. Fear, as it turns out, is the fuel for transformation.

This groundbreaking book points the way to an expansive and comprehensive psychotherapy approach in its integration of Buddhist psychology and Gestalt therapy. The authors establish the essential convergences of Buddhist psychology and mindfulness with Gestalt therapy theory and method, and creatively explore the clinical implications of these and their relevance in psychotherapeutic work. These convergences, as well as the recognition of the two systems’ differences in focus and ultimate aims, then serve as the foundation for a Buddhist psychology informed Gestalt therapy (BPGT). This innovative integration offers a new perspective while also maintaining the holistic integrity of each system. Here, the book lays out how Buddhist psychology’s universal view and Gestalt therapy’s focus on the individual and relational can work synergistically in addressing the fundamental ground of human suffering. Clinical vignettes throughout the book bring the concepts and methods to life, offering clear examples of how these can be implemented. This book’s heart, wisdom, and deeply relational holistic perspective on the therapeutic endeavor can offer psychotherapists of any stripe an enriched clinical understanding, and the “how to” for putting this understanding into practice.
