Christophe Andre is a Medical Psychiatrist at the University of Paris X, Nanterre.
'No one I know except for Christophe Andre can write in such a rhapsodic, poetic, poignant and personally honest way about such quintessentially human experiences as feelings and moods ? energies which, while evanescent and subtle, run our lives in ways it is very easy to ignore. This book illuminates the very real possibility of authentic well-being and happiness for each of us, right here and now, without anything having to change, however astonishing and improbable that proposition may seem.' Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Mindfulness for Beginners and Coming to Our Senses 'Moods establish the inner weather of the mind ? perhaps bright and sunny, or overcast and troubled ? and with his rare combination of head and heart, Christophe Andre shows what creates this weather and how we can change it for the better.' Rick Hanson, author of Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom 'Christophe Andre leads us through a heartfelt encounter with the ubiquity and complexity of emotional life. Take your time reading his evocative prose and find yourself rewarded with a new appreciation for how thoughts and feelings are foundational in achieving greater satisfaction and purposefulness in your life.' Zindel Segal, University of Toronto
