Less accessible than his other book, Going to Pieces. A little too spiritual and a little less practical.

"Going to Pieces" was an important read for me. "Going on Being" was perhaps less transformational but more powerful and exhilarating. I could not recommend this book more.

A nice memoir and explanation of why Buddhism has meant the world to this psychotherapist. Not a whole lot of original or revelatory material here, but it’s further proof of how well this ancient philosophy has stood the test of time. It’s truly uncanny how much of modern psychonalytic theory was predicted by the Buddha and his immediate acolytes. Definitely an edifying read, but it still feels like a supplemental source rather than a primary one.
