Constructive Living Bookstore

David K Reynolds is our foremost author on the subject of "Constructive Living", part philosophy, part Shinto-Buddhism, part psychotherapy, but 100% practical and useful in our normal daily life. David's style always amazes me and this book is no exception: In a short, affordable volume of less than 100 pages, in an afternoon's reading and for less than the cost of lunch, he asks those questions which strike right at the very heart of our troubles and changes our lives forever. This is not a book about buddhism, it's not about digging in your psychological closets, it's just plain sense insight into how we can live more constructively.

The original text to coin the term "Constructive Living", this book followed Dr. Reynolds' initial monographs on Morita and Naikan methods published by the University of Hawaii press. This is more of an interpretive reference for mental health professionals than a self-help guide, but a good read for those interested in the background of modern Constructive Living methods.

David's book of guidelines, suggestions and exercises for a more meaningful and constructive life. "David has a great gift for helping readers cut through the fantasy and foolishness of their lives, so that real change becomes possible" (Michael Crichton)

This work is also a good starting point, but intended more for curious professionals in the mental health community. Includes many case studies applying Constructive Living to conditions such as AIDS
