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.
