Rezensionen

Dusana Dorjee masterfully presents a wealth of information from diverse areas-neuroscience, psychology of meditation, contemplative practices, existential wellbeing, and Buddhism-in a flawless narrative that is sure to prove a classic in the field of meditation. Informed by research and practice, the book lays out the essence of six meditation practices, the changes that occur in the brain as a result of short- and long-term formal and informal practices, and how meditation enhances our general wellbeing. One of the great strengths of the book is that it presents this material in a very accessible form that can be used by practitioners and researchers alike.
