‘If you feel good, you work good’
TT Srinath reviews Sankarasubramanyan Ramamoorthy s book
When driving up the hill to the hill town, Kodaikanal, in Tamil Nadu, India, we pass a hamlet called ‘Perumal Malai,’ (Hill of God). In this hamlet is located Bodhi Zendo, a retreat centre, which encourages meditation practice according Buddhist tradition. The centre has been set up by a priest, Fr. Ama Samy.
In one of my several visits to the centre I met Fr. Ama Samy and requested him to help me re-craft my thought process which was then clouded with worry and anxiety.
After listening to me he took me to his library and offered me two books to read. One was a book titled ‘Feeling Good-The New Mood Therapy’ by David D Burns and the other was ‘Six Pillars of Self-esteem’ by Nathaniel Branden.
