"Focusing is a beautiful and meditative approach to psychotherapy and personal growth. It offers a deep parallel to the practice of mindfulness in a carefully developed and sensitive way." -- Jack Kornfield "Learning to access and dissolve personal problems by focusing on the language and wisdom of the body was a historic discovery. Gendlin's genius has stood the test of time and Focusing has become a classic." -- Harville Hendrix "The focusing skill can be learned by anyone in or out of therapy" Washington Post "An original, innovative, exciting book" -- Carl Rogers "At once a manual and a philosophy. It talks about the body's wisdom, the steps of the focusing technique, and how to discover the richness in others by learning to listen. It looks at the potential for a new kind of relationship and a new kind of society" -- Marilyn Ferguson, author of The Aquarian Conspiracy
