Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Zen meets self-help: the two authors, both Zen Buddhist teachers, present an adjunct technique to meditation that offers therapeutic benefits. Their "Great Heart Way" combines meditation, introspection and journaling to uncover hidden roots of psychological problems and resolve the issues. The book is structured to be helpful, with how-to appendixes. The result is uneven, telegraphed perhaps by the misleading subtitle that doesn't sound much like Buddhism, although Buddhism is the book's strength. The heart-mind connection the book champions is solid Buddhist teaching, and the meditation approach is convincing because it is rooted in a deep base of Eastern wisdom. The authors offer a fresh and creative application of Zen that can benefit people who are psychologically stuck. The psychology framework they depend on is less persuasive, drawn from a particular school of understanding the mind—bioenergetics—and concomitant therapy. A little more science would have tested the authors' observations and strengthened the final text. Still, the personal stories sprinkled throughout offer some empirical testimony for the method, and any self-help system that cultivates personal discipline and compassion for others is always worth considering.

Product Description
By combining the teachings of Zen with the modern science of psychology, the authors have forged a new path to peace and healing. The method is accessible regardless of spiritual background, and requires less than half an hour a day.
Experienced practitioners Gerry Shishin Wick and Ilia Shinko Perez have drawn from a wide array of disciplines to create the Great Heart Method. It transcends the erstwhile limitations of Zen, which sometimes can be used to deny feelings and personal problems, but uses meditation as an effective means of identifying and working through mental blockages. The book focuses on restoring a heart-mind connection, compassionately healing one's wounded inner self, and fully experiencing difficult emotions with nonjudgmental awareness in order to fully transform them.
