Presented
with elements of mystery,
humor, human
interest, and
autobiography,
The Habit of Living is
a very personal and
enlightening account of Dr.
Mastria’s search for and
discovery of a single
explanation for discomfort, and troublesome,
unwanted behaviors, as well
as a “cookbook” method to
reduce discomfort. The
Habit of Living provides
the reader with a vast
amount of practical
information in an
entertaining and informative
manner.
Dr. Mastria has developed
a simple, unique, and highly
effective intervention
program called Attention
Training, which enables the
individual to feel relief
almost instantly without the
use of medication or
extensive therapy.
Written in a simple,
direct, and commonsense
style,
The Habit of Living will appeal not
only to those who experience
discomfort, but also to all
of us who may use the method
to live fuller, richer, and
more productive lives. |

Opinions
The Habit of Living
“Mastria’s ‘Back to Basics’ approach to psychological problems
and their treatment is brilliant in its
simplicity and represents a radical
departure from orthodox psychological
theory. It should appeal to anyone who
has lost faith in the efficacy of
traditional psychological treatments.”
Erich Labouvie, Ph.D. - Rutgers
University
“Dr.
Mastria has developed a unique method
for dealing with a vast array of
psychological difficulties. The
principal quality of his work is marked
by an elegant return to that which is
fundamental. Because of the refreshingly
unencumbered approach, Attention
Training will appeal to virtually
everyone.”
James J. Ferretti, MD -
Psychiatry, Jersey City
“For
thousands of years, from the ashram to
the consulting room, attention has been
used to cultivate inner states of
tranquility and meditation. Now, using a
simple reflex arc, Dr. Mastria has
enabled practically anyone to
effortlessly promote these states
throughout the day. Dr. Mastria’s
Attention Training should benefit anyone
seeking to calm their nerves and attain
greater peace of mind.”
David J. Grandcolas, Ph.D.
