Healing Emotions: Conversations with the Dalai Lama on Psychology, Meditation, and the Mind-Body Connection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781611808636)

A Pulitzer Prize nominee and the bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence bridges modern science with the spiritual wisdom of the East

This extraordinary series of encounters between the Dalai Lama and prominent Western psychologists, physicians, and meditation teachers sheds new light on the mind-body connection

Can the mind heal the body? The Buddhist tradition says yes--and now many Western scientists are beginning to agree. These discussions between the Dalai Lama and this group of prominent physicians, psychologists, philosophers, and behaviorists could not be more timely. The book is a record of the third Mind and Life Conference, a meeting that took place in Dharamsala, India, gathering Buddhist teachers and Western scholars to discuss questions that provide a framework for an ongoing dialogue between psychology and Buddhism.

Edited with a new foreword by Daniel Goleman, this exploration of stress, death, meditation, self-compassion--and much more--underscores the timeliness and significance of working together, across scientific and religious aisles, for the greater benefit of humankind.
