About this listen

Constructive Living combines two of the most popular forms of therapy in Japan into one profoundly effective approach that will not only enhance your productivity, but also bring a flexible, responsive mind—a Zen-like tranquility—a to your personal and professional life.

Discover the life-changing potential of Morita therapy (based on taking right action in the moment) and Naikan therapy (a way to cultivate your awareness of how the world supports you) in three information-packed sessions. Join David Reynolds to discover:
• Three instant remedies for facing your negative feelings
• Six steps for doing what needs to be done right now, no matter how you feel
• The "Stairs of Enlightenment"—the way beyond inner confusion and self-absorbed suffering to increased awareness
• Four hours of training with the leading authority on Naikan and Morita therapies in the West

A sensible approach to better emotional health, Constructive Living can help you live more effectively and see your life more clearly, no matter how you feel.

I was more than a little skeptical half way through chapter 2 (Audiobook). Saying thank you to a chair for allowing me to sit down seemed a strange approach. I have now listened to the book twice and read the CL Handbook. I think I am slowly getting it. A recommended read (listen) for critical thinkers who are willing to maintain an open mind.
