Thinly disguised Buddhist propaganda. Wholeheartedly endorse. But the original Buddhist texts, for instance the Visuddhimagga, are more complete and direct, though harder to read.

Edit: Actually, using the skills here to bootstrap to something like Buddhism+CBT+rationality+etc is probably the better bet.

What's CBT?

Cognitive behavioural therapy, a way to change your thinking that is one of the few psychotherapies with some evidence of actually working. Apply with caution, though.

Other possible meanings of CBT include Computer-Based Training, Cock and Ball Torture, Compulsory Basic Training, and Complete Binary Tree.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was not the first thing I thought of when I saw the term, so thanks.
