Those friken western Buddhists and their ways, paths, journeys, and hearts titles I wish they would just number the things.
Path with a heart is Kornfield I have it as an audio book very good if it's your kind of thing. The Welwood book is actually called "Journey of the heart" and I simply mixed the two up.
There is a definite overlapping of some of the ideas of the two. I would say superficially Kornfield comes across as a Psychologically informed Buddhist and Weldwood comes across as a Buddhist informed Psychologist. Both try to integrate aspects of the two together. Kornfield is specifically writing to a Buddhist audience where Weldwood to me seems much more open and accessible to all.
The thing that I am finding most interesting about Weldwood how many of the ideas that Deida has written about are touched upon but given a slight different meaning to me by a change in tone. Having flipped through the book I can see where he has a three stage model of relationships like Dedia and where he writes about finding our more authentic sex roles vs the stereotypes expected of us.
