Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart: A Buddhist Perspective on WholenessFor decades, Western psychology has promised fulfillment through building and strengthening the ego. We are taught that the ideal is a strong, individuated self, constructed and reinforced over a lifetime. But Buddhist psychiatrist Mark Epstein has found a different way. Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart shows us that happiness doesn't come from any kind of acquisitiveness, be it material or psychological. Happiness comes from letting go. Weaving

For decades, Western psychology has promised fulfillment through building and strengthening the ego. We are taught that the ideal is a strong, individuated self, constructed and reinforced over a lifetime. But Buddhist psychiatrist Mark Epstein has found a different way.

Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart shows us that happiness doesn't come from any kind of acquisitiveness, be it material or psychological. Happiness comes from letting go. Weaving together the accumulated wisdom of his two worlds--Buddhism and Western psychotherapy--Epstein shows how "the happiness that we seek depends on our ability to balance the ego's need to do with our inherent capacity to be." He encourages us to relax the ever-vigilant mind in order to experience the freedom that comes only from relinquishing control.

Drawing on events in his own life and stories from his patients, Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart teaches us that only by letting go can we start on the path to a more peaceful and spiritually satisfying life.

Great shirt for Price
Color: White, Size: Large
Seem to fit true to size and long enough. I cannot stand dress shirts that are too short on the sides and become untucked. I am also getting these embroidered with a company logo to turn into work shirts. I like the oxford feel, buttons are tight fit, arm length is hair long for me (5'11") - but for the fit they fine. I purchased four of these, all were consistent with one another, no surprises.

Might buy a couple more.
Color: Demin Blue, Size: Large
In the process of losing weight and needed a nice looking shirt for work without spending a lot of money on something that will only fit for a few months. This did the trick! Fits well, looks nice, and at a great price.

The fit is pretty good, it's acceptable.
Color: Navy Blue, Size: X-Large
Very good fit. The sleeves are long enough, I guess. I'll be rolling them up anyway. I would like it to be a tad bit longer though for tucking in. Other than that it feels nice and lightweight, can't wait to wash it so I can use it for going out.
