"A masterpiece. . . . It teaches us how not to fear and repress,
but to rechannel and harness the most powerful energies of life
toward freedom and bliss." --ROBERT THURMAN
It is common in both Buddhism and Freudian psychoanalysis to treat
desire as if it is the root of all suffering and problems, but
psychiatrist Mark Epstein believes this to be a grave
misunderstanding. In his controversial defense of desire, he makes
clear that it is the key to deepening intimacy with ourselves, each
other, and our world.
Proposing that spiritual attainment does not have to be
detached from intimacy or eroticism, "Open to Desire" begins with
an exploration of the state of dissatisfaction that causes us to
cling to irrational habits. Dr. Epstein helps readers overcome
their own fears of desire so that they can more readily bridge the
gap between self and other, cope with feelings of incompletion, and
get past the perception of others as objects. Freed from clinging
and shame, desire's spiritual potential can then be opened up.
