Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You know anger causes harm. You know clinging exhausts you. So why do the same reactions keep taking over?A single criticism keeps you awake. One emotional trigger makes choice disappear. The same relationship, expectation, or fear pulls you back into a familiar story: I am not good enough. I am not safe. I cannot let go.The Dhammapada begins with a radical insight: mind precedes experience. But what does that mean in the middle of anxiety, anger, craving, the fear of not being good enough, and conflict?In Dhammapada Psychology, psychological counselor and NLP executive coach LiaoHuishan follows key verses from this foundational Buddhist text and places them in careful conversation with modern psychology. Through clear explanations, relatable stories, and practical reflections, you will explore: - How thoughts, emotions, memories, and habits shape the world you experience- Why anger can take control before conscious choice catches up- How craving and insecure attachment keep repeating the same suffering- Why the self can feel fixed even though it is continually being constructed- How mindfulness, acceptance, compassion, and values-guided action can restore room to chooseThis is not another translation of the Dhammapada, and it does not claim that Buddhism and psychology are the same. It is a disciplined bridge between two ways of understanding the mind-one rooted in the Buddha's teaching, the other in contemporary psychological inquiry.If traditional editions tell you what the Dhammapada says, this book invites you to recognize what its verses reveal about your own mind.Read it not only for wisdom, but for the moment between reaction and action-where freedom begins.
