Mind, Brain and the Path to Happiness presents a contemporary
account of traditional Buddhist mind training and the pursuit of
wellbeing and happiness in the context of the latest research in
psychology and the neuroscience of meditation.
Following the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of Dzogchen, the book
guides the reader through the gradual steps in transformation of
the practitioner's mind and brain on the path to advanced states of
balance, genuine happiness and wellbeing. Dusana Dorjee explains
how the mind training is grounded in philosophical and experiential
exploration of the notions of happiness and human potential, and
how it refines attention skills and cultivates emotional balance in
training of mindfulness, meta-awareness and development of healthy
emotions. The book outlines how the practitioner can explore subtle
aspects of conscious experience in order to recognize the nature of
the mind and reality. At each of the steps on the path the book
provides novel insights into similarities and differences between
Buddhist accounts and current psychological and neuroscientific
theories and evidence. Throughout the book the author skilfully
combines Buddhist psychology and Western scientific research with
examples of meditation practices, highlighting the ultimately
practical nature of Buddhist mind training."
Mind, Brain and the Path to Happiness" is an important book for
health professionals and educators who teach or apply mindfulness
and meditation-based techniques in their work, as well as for
researchers and students investigating these techniques both in a
clinical context and in the emerging field of contemplative
science.
