Millions of people meditate daily but can these practices really
make us 'better' people? In The Buddha Pill, Farias and Wikholm put
meditation and mindfulness under the microscope. Separating fact
from fiction, they reveal what scientific research - including
their own groundbreaking study on yoga and meditation in prisoners
- tells us about the benefits and limitations of these techniques
for improving lives. As well as illuminating the potential, the
authors argue that these practices may have unexpected consequences
and that peace and happiness may not always be the end result.
Offering a compelling examination of research on Transcendental
Meditation to recent studies on the effects of mindfulness and
yoga, with fascinating contributions from spiritual teachers and
therapists, Farias and Wikholm weave together a unique story about
the science and the delusions of personal change. This isn't simply
another book about the route to enlightenment and happiness, nor is
it a 'how to'. Farias and Wikholm challenge assumptions about the
uses and effects of meditation and yoga. Controversially, The
Buddha Pill argues that personal change effected by these spiritual
practices can vary widely from one individual to another, and that
peace and compassion may not always be the end result. Combining
insights from decades of scientific research with fascinating
accounts from gurus and prisoners, The Buddha Pill weaves together
a unique story about the science and delusions of personal change.
