Book description
For millennia, Buddhists have enjoyed the limitless benefits of
meditation. But how does it work? And why? The principles behind this
ancient practice have long eluded some of the best minds in modern
science. Until now.
This groundbreaking work, with a foreword by bestselling author
Daniel Goleman, invites us to join in unlocking the secrets behind the
practice of meditation. Working with neuroscientists, the author
provides clear insights into modern research, which indicates that
systematic training in meditation can enhance activity in areas of the
brain associated with happiness and compassion.
With an infectious joy and insatiable curiosity, Yongey Mingyur
Rinpoche weaves together the principles of Tibetan Buddhism,
neuroscience, and quantum physics in a way that will forever change
the way we understand the human experience. And using the basic
meditation practices, he offers readers a chance to recognize the
unlimited potential of our own minds.
