Books by Gay Watson

Gay Watson explores attention through many disciplines and ways of life, from neuroscience to surfing. This is a valuable and timely account of something central to our lives yet all too often neglected.

In this book Gay Watson offers an alternative view of emptiness via a tour of early and non-Western philosophy, taking us from Buddhism, Taoism and religious mysticism to the contemporary world of philosophy, science and art practice.

Presents Buddhist philosophy and practice as a resource for psychotherapy which is responsive to the needs for a three-way dialogue between Buddhism, psychotherapy and contemporary discourse.

In search of a way to happiness Buddha set out to explore our experience and in so doing presented what may well be called earliest 'psychology', an experiential exploration of subjectivity. This title attempts to open out discussion between Buddhist thought and psychotherapy and the findings of neuroscience in context of our search for wellbeing.
