help us manage our most powerful emotions—and make us feel more
alive and whole in the process."
—Psychology Today
"Exhilarating . . . brilliant and original. . . . Important because
it shows how work on the pains and pleasures of our own lives can
be a means of transformation."
—New Age

East and West . . . establishes Mark Epstein as one of psychology's
most dazzling thinkers."
—Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence
"Plato's Socrates once wondered whether he should be a politician
or a physician—that is, whether he should try to serve the existing
tastes and interests of his fellow citizens or continually work to
improve their minds and souls. Going to Pieces Without Falling
Apart will appeal to physicians, therapists, and patients who, like
Socrates, opt for the
latter."
—New England Journal of Medicine
"A thought-provoking look at how to break free from psychological
materialism."
—Utne Reader
