A reprinting of the authoritative essay written in 1971 from the
volume of work entitled Psychology of Meditation by Claudio Naranjo
& Robert E. Ornstein. This new Malor book edition examines
meditation from two perspectives: first that of religions and
philosophies such as Zen, Yoga and from the Sufis and Christian
mystics, and second from the modern psychologist's point of view --
what is happening neurophysiologically and what is the resulting
experience? By looking at meditation from both points of view,
Ornstein produces a modern scientific view
???????????????????????????????????????????????? one sympathetic to
the practice and enables the reader to appreciate and understand
meditation as a tool which, under the right direction, leads to a
different mode of perception. Robert Ornstein, Ph.D., has written
more than twenty books on the brain, mind, and consciousness since
the publication of the first edition of this book in 1971. This
work emphasizes our urgent need and ability to develop perceptions
beyond our human inheritance.
Imagine a medical treatment that can decrease heart disease, boost
immune function, relieve depression, and block pain--whose only
side effect is that it makes you feel good. It's safe, inexpensive,
and readily available, No, it's not a miracle drug; rather, these
benefits come from the experience of pleasure itself. And this
pleasure prescription is filled in the internal pharmacy of the
brain.Psychologist Robert Ornstein and physician David Sobel
deliver the latest scientific evidence that pleasures--from saunas
to siestas, chocolate to charity--and positive attitudes--from
happiness to optimism--are not only enjoyable but also good for
you.
