My background is in neuropsychology. The quest for contentment is still very much an art. Science hasn't yet found a method that everyone can use to be happy, and it probably won't since there are too many variables to make a clear determination of cause and effect. However, we can "play" with the basic elements of our experience and discover what works for each of us. - M. Cruz I've always felt there must be a better way to deal with anxiety and negative emotions than scrutinizing my belief "systems." I've searched everywhere for an alternative. Then I noticed how content I am when I'm searching. That anytime I'm happy, I'm engaged with what I'm doing--I'm searching for what will happen next. When I'm unhappy, I'm mostly reacting, that is: anger, fear, complaining, overwhelm. Yet, I don't want to incite inner conflict by seeing any emotion as "negative." This book describes a simple method for making reactive feelings work for and with anything you want to accomplish. My qualifications are from a life long search for the process of happiness and contentment. I finally realized that searching is happiness. To put it poetically--to question is the answer. - Gregg Loy M. Cruz and Gregg Loy met in an online forum on psychology where they got into a heated, but constructive, argument. A year later the Core Catharsis approach was born. |
