Sharon Salzberg, a meditation teacher and the founder of the Insight Meditation Society in Massachusetts, focuses on a kind of Buddhist practice that emphasizes feelings of love, happiness, and compassion. Metta, or “lovingkindness,” meditation involves four phrases: “May I be free from danger”; “May I have mental happiness”; “May I have physical happiness”; “May I have ease of well-being.” (Some readers will find this surprising, since the most commonly known meditation techniques have little “content”–you simply repeat a single word or phrase, observe your breath, or observe your thoughts as they[Read More]

In Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child, psychology professor John Gottman explores the emotional relationship between parents and children. It’s not enough to simply reject an authoritarian model of parenting, Gottman says. A parent needs to be concerned with the quality of emotional interactions. Gottman, author of Why Marriages Succeed or Fail, and coauthor Joan Declaire focus first on the parent (a “know thyself” approach), and provide a series of exercises to assess parenting styles and emotional self-awareness. The authors identify a five-step “emotion coaching” process to help teach children how to[Read More]

Teenage boys are rarely chatter boxes like the girls. Why Boys Don’t Talk helps parents reopen communication and start talking to teenage boys in order to stay emotionally connected with them. Adolescent boys are notoriously uncommunicative. Unfortunately, too many parents equate not talking with not feeling, and, as authors Susan Morris Shaffer and Linda Perlman Gordon explain in this groundbreaking guide, parents who make that assumption end up validating only the most superficial aspects of their sons. Recent bestsellers such as Real Boys and The Wonder of Boys have done a good[Read More]
