Water Bears No Scars David K. Reynolds, Ph.D.

Following Playing Ball on Running Water and Even in Summer the Ice Doesn't. Melt, Water Bears No Scars is the third book in Dr. Reynolds's series on how each of us can live more constructively by using the personal-growth methods pioneered by Dr. Shōma Morita, a Japanese con-temporary of Freud. Each book is written to be read and used independently. Water Bears No Scars employs a mix of essays, exercises, and fables to show how every action, even ones as simple as washing the dishes or dialing a telephone, can become an opportunity for character development and growth. The opportunity to become who we want to become lies in this very moment's behavior.

Praise for Even in Summer the Ice Doesn't Melt:

"A refreshing change for those accustomed to reading Western psychology and psychotherapy. In Morita therapy the process, not the result, is primary; we are what we do. We should accept feelings for what they are but not allow them to interfere with behavior.... Recommended"

-Library Journal

"Dr. Reynolds, an anthropologist by formal training, and a student of Morita therapy since 1965, has offered in this short book a thoroughly Westernized and spritely integration of Morita's formúlations....He serves as an engaging guide who appears to be at ease with both Western psychology and the psychological principles of Zen."

-Psychology Today

"Entirely about action and...well worth reading"
