Today, Tuwhiri is pleased to publish The secular path to well-being: Practical dharma for today by Jeffrey Fracher.
In a review on secularbuddhistnetwork.org, Tom Cummings described the book as a
remarkably helpful new book exploring the parallels between the teachings of ancient Buddhism and the insights of modern psychology
Guiding teacher for Serenity Sangha in Charlottesville, Virginia, Jeffrey Fracher has been a Buddhist practitioner for 35 years, and a clinical psychologist for 44 years. Bringing both these approaches together in the pages of this book, he shows how he has developed a ‘practical dharma’ and how it aligns with secular Buddhism.
While this book can be read from cover to cover, wherever you open it you will find calm reflections informed by deep insight. So whether you seek guidance, reflection, or a moment of mindful connection, these dharma teachings are likely to resonate with you – one chapter, one challenge, and one simple strategy at a time. As Martine Batchelor puts it:
Using examples from his own life, Fracher shows how the ancient teachings and practices of the Buddha can greatly enhance a mindful and compassionate life in modern times.
