Description

This is a story about a strange encounter on the golf course with someone who, on the face of it, knows nothing about golf but who ends up teaching the author about the inner game and questioning his approach to golf and to life itself.

A Note From the Publisher

Martin Wells has worked as a psychotherapist in the NHS for over 30 years. He also teaches mindfulness to patients and staff. Ten years ago his own experience of 'letting go' after attending a talk by a French psychiatrist and non-dual mystic, radically changed the way in which he now works. The experience prompted a profound shift in perspective, allowing Martin to understand non-duality as being at the heart of mindfulness and psychotherapy.

This is a wonderful book. Wisdom often arrives disguised as a story. It sneaks past the watchful guard of the intellect and gets right to where it is needed most. Your enjoyment of golf and life cannot help but be enhanced by reading these words. Highly recommended.
