If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him: The Pilgrimage of Psychotherapy Patients

Psychotherapy journey; embracing intrinsic Buddahood.

If you're intrigued by the philosophy of self-empowerment and the idea that wisdom lies within, then Sheldon Kopp's "If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him" might resonate with you. Kopp's use of timeless myths and influential thinkers to weave a narrative around self-discovery and the pitfalls of seeking external validation is both thought-provoking and liberating. As you turn its pages, you may find yourself on a similar pilgrimage, exploring the depths of your own psyche.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A fresh, realistic approach to altering one's destiny and accepting the responsibility that grows with freedom. No meaning that comes from outside of ourselves is real. The Buddahood of each of us has already been obtained. We only need to recognize it. “The most important things that each man must learn no one can teach him. Once he accepts this disappointment, he will be able to stop depending on the therapist, the guru who turns out to be just another struggling human being.” Using the myth of Gilgamesh, Siddhartha, The Wife of Bath, Don Quixote, the works of Buber, Ginsberg, Shakespeare, Karka, Nin, Dante, and Jung, a brilliant psychotherapist, guru, and pilgrim shares the epic tales and intimate revelations that help to shape Everyman's journey through life.
