Open to Desire
Book • 2005
In *Open to Desire*, Mark Epstein argues that desire is not inherently negative but rather a powerful force that can be harnessed for personal transformation and spiritual growth.
By integrating Buddhist teachings with psychoanalytic insights, Epstein offers a new perspective on desire, suggesting it can enhance intimacy and connection rather than being a source of suffering.
The book explores how desire can be a teacher, guiding us toward freedom and bliss.
