better than freud
20 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
I became interested in Morita a while back after reading David Reynolds books. It says "Japanese Lifeways for Personal Growth"
Dr Shoma Morita was a contemporary of Dr Freud, and Freud's ideas caught on and Morita faded more into the background.
He speaks about how obstacles help us develop awareness and character and the accumulated affect is both powerful and visible to ourselves and others.
It is an easy read, very simple to understand and yet incredibly powerful. Especially poignant is his writings on the "neurotically sensitive" who often stay in their heads
He has very simple every day techniques to help us stay aware, in the moment, and bypass unhealthy thinking

Insights designed to improve your life
4 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback
Drawing on wisdom from both sides of the Pacific, David Reynolds helps us focus on the quality of our every act. The book is comprised of Essays, Morita's Sayings, and Tales, which illustrate the principles of constructive living. The reader will not only gain significant insight, but will also learn to view and respond to his or her life situations in new ways, with more positive, and more moral, results. Especially useful for the students of psychology, for it challenges the ways in which they have learned to interpret and affect reality. I find some parallels in the psychology-based Intentional Living: Lessons from the Tree of Life, however. Ample references, but no index.
