{"product_id":"9781324082453","title":"Buddhist Practices for Overcoming Depression","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile many mental health books rely on secular mindfulness, Buddhist Practices for Overcoming Depression offers something fuller: a healing path grounded in the broader landscape of Buddhist wisdom. Drawing on early Buddhist psychology, the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and contemporary self-compassion research, Tim Desmond shows how depression grows from patterns of self-criticism, shame and learned helplessness, as well as how these patterns can be transformed with clarity and tenderness.   Each short chapter offers a concrete practice, from recognising the energy of difficult emotions in the body to cultivating the small joys and connections that strengthen resilience. Interwoven with teachings on loving-awareness, impermanence and nurturing wholesome mental formations, the book supports a shift in how readers hold themselves and their experience.   For anyone seeking depression recovery through authentic Buddhist practice-not just Buddhist-flavoured therapy-this is a rare and hopeful resource.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55732163248504,"sku":"9781324082453","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781324082453.jpg?v=1794271595","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781324082453","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
