The Joy of Living, A New York Times bestseller!
For millennia, Buddhists have enjoyed the limitless benefits of meditation. But how does it work? And why? The principles behind this ancient practice have long eluded some of the best minds in modern science. Until now.
In this groundbreaking work, world-renowned Buddhist teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche invites us to join him in unlocking the secrets behind the practice of meditation. Working with neuroscientists at the Waisman Laboratory of Brain Imaging and Behaviour, Yongey Mingyur offers a clear overview of modern research indicating that systematic training in meditation can increase activity in areas of the brain associated with happiness and compassion. He has also worked with physicists from across the country to develop a fresh and scientifically grounded interpretation of the Buddhist understanding of the nature of reality.
With infectious joy and insatiable curiosity, Yongey Mingyur weaves together the principles of Tibetan Buddhism, neuroscience and quantum physics in a way that will forever change the way we understand human experience. Using the basic meditative practices he provides, we can discover pathways through everyday problems, turning obstacles into opportunities to recognize the limitless potential of our own minds.
With a foreword by bestselling author Daniel Goleman, The Joy of Living is a stunning discovery, an illuminating insight into the science of Buddhism, and a manual for transforming our minds, bodies, and lives.
