Most people believe suffering comes from difficult circumstances, other people, or bad luck. Yet even when our external conditions improve, the mind often continues to create worry, dissatisfaction, and emotional pain.

Drawing from Buddhist philosophy, contemporary psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and the author's lived experience with severe physical disability, The Mind That Creates Suffering offers a practical and compassionate framework for understanding why we suffer and how we can cultivate greater freedom and inner peace.
