At the heart of this book is one of the most ancient and profound
question philosophers, spiritual seekers, and curious individuals
have pondered since the beginning of history: "Who am I?". Advances
in modern science, and access to Zen tradition, have provided us
with broader and richer understanding of this topic. Over the
chapters the author, a psychologist and Zen master, investigates
how the brain fosters a sense of an independent self, situating his
research in the contexts of neuroscience, ecology, evolution,
psychology, and of the principles Eastern wisdom traditions. The
book explores a broad range of insights from brain science,
evolutionary biology, astronomy, clinical psychology, thoughts and
emotions, mental health disorders, and Zen Buddhism. This book will
appeal to psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers,
counsellors, and researchers of Eastern traditions. General readers
interested in the functioning of the brain will discover practical
ways to integrate fascinating new findings on an age-old question
into their everyday life.
