Book description
The Buddhist view of the mind - how it works, how it goes wrong, how to
put it right - is increasingly being recognised as profound and highly
practical by scientists, counsellors and other professionals. In The
Psychology of Awakening, this powerful vision of human nature, and its
implications for personal and social life, are for the first time
brought to a wider audience by some of those most influential in
exploring its potential for the way we live today. These include: David
