FINDING THE MIND - ROBIN COOPER


RATING B-

The book offers insight into the Buddhist (all styles of Buddhism) viewpoint of 'the mind'. Page 54 reminded me of my 'hoarding' father - I am currently disposing of said hoardings, bit by bit. There was new-to-me information/sources on the Buddha's life in chapter 7. I found the table on page 94 helpful as was the table on page 98. I found the chapter on Western similarities very difficult to follow. As usual, what should be the easiest, was the least.

I would recommend the book to those interested in both Buddhist and Western psychology and comprehension of the mind, but mainly to those seeking a 'summary' of various Buddhist views in relation to the mind.
