This accessible work on Japanese Morita therapy is a refreshing change for those accustomed to reading Western psychology and psychotherapy. In Morita therapy the process, not the result, is primary; we are what we do. We should accept feelings for what they are but not allow them to interfere with behavior. The first part of the book offers explanatory essays; the second has wonderful little stories, each elucidating some principle of Morita therapy; and the few pages of the third have exercises to help one start living constructively. Reynolds's previous books include Playing Ball on Running Water: living Morita therapy (Morrow, 1984). Recommended as a popular introduction to Morita therapy and for psychology collections as an alternative to Western approaches. John Moryl, Yeshiva Univ. Lib., N.Y.
