The book's subject marks the eighth round in a series of ongoing meetings of the Mind Life Institute. The varied perspectives of science, philosophy and Eastern and Western thought beautifully illustrate the symbiosis among the views that are readily accessible, despite their complexity. Among the book's many strengths is its organisation, which allows readers to enjoy the entire five-day seminar or choose sections that are most relevant to their interests--such as "Cultivating Emotional Balance", "The Neuroscience of Emotion", "Encouraging Compassion", or "The Scientific Study of Consciousness". But the real joy is in gaining an insider's view of these extraordinary minds at work, especially that of the Dalai Lama, whose curiosity, Socratic questioning and humour ultimately serve as the lynchpin for the soaring intellectual discussion in the book. --Silvana Tropea, Amazon.com --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.
Book Description
Goleman weaves a compelling account of what these destructive emotions are. He questions where they come from, how the human mind is shaped, how these impulses (craving, anger and delusion, known in Buddhism as the three poisons) can be transformed and how otherwise they will threaten our safety and our future.
