The Buddhist view of mind - how it works, how it goes wrong, how to put it right - is increasingly being recognized as profound and highly practical by scientists, counsellors and other professionals.

In "The Psychology of Awakening", this powerful vision of human nature, and its implications for personal and social life, are brought to a wider audience by some of those most influential in exploring its potential for the way we live today. These include:

Francisco Varela
Geshe Thubten Jinpa
John Welwood
Jon Kabat Zinn
Mark Epstein
Maura Sills
Susan Blakemore
Tarab Tulku

Deeply relevant, accessible and authoritative, "The Psychology of Awakening" will be of interest to all those who wish to understand the workings of their minds a little better and who are seeking new ways of mastering the challenges - personal, professional and cultural - with which modern life confronts us all.
