The Self-Help Guru has taken a retreat with Dr. Jack Kornfield and can attest that the approach in the CDs recommended here is the “real deal.”

 Affected in the past by trauma, depression, and relationship problems himself, Dr. Kornfield elegantly describes how to use Buddhist psychology - which originates in wisdom teachings more than 2500 years old - to achieve greater happiness and more resilience to adversity and stress.

We highly recommend the astonishing teachings of Eckhart Tolle, who in his new CD program advises us to: Take a Break from Your Life Situation and Come Back Home to Your Life.

Self-Help Resources wishes to recommend a diverse series of approaches to good mental health, and all of the approaches recommended under the Wisdom Teachings category derive from an extraordinary wellspring of knowledge which in some cases goes back thousands of years.

Here is an excerpt from the Product Description on this wonderful new resource:

Take a Break from Your “Life Situation”—and Come Back Home to Your Life. Is it possible that the simple act of being is not actually that simple? That to really be here now requires practice, like any other skill worth learning? On The Art of Presence, Eckhart Tolle invites you to a six-session audio retreat to teach you how to deepen the moment-to-moment realization of your essential nature—the unified consciousness that lives all things.

What Is Your Relationship to the Present Moment?
When Eckhart Tolle wrote his international bestseller The Power of Now, he pointed us in the direction of something that’s always been right under our noses: life in this very instant. Yet why do so many of us continue to feel like we’re missing it? Attention, he teaches, is the answer—a quality of relaxed alertness that you can progressively sharpen and sustain. In so doing, you overcome the judgments and limitations of the mind-made sense of self with its “endless stream of thoughts” about past and future, and find an expanse of peace and renewed purpose in each and every moment.

On The Art of Presence, Eckhart guides you through seven hours of transformational insights that allow “presence to naturally arise” in you. With his one-of-a-kind instruction, you will learn how to ground yourself in the vibrancy of your “inner body” while simultaneously breaking free from the illusion of separation from the outside world, how to connect to “the perceiver” of all your experiences to realize the wisdom of spiritual surrender, how to access the higher intelligence that empowers “right action,” and much more.
