Beschreibung
For many of us, no matter what we do, no matter how well we try to distract ourselves, there is always a buzz of anxiety in the background of our minds. We can never truly connect with others or focus on the task at hand. Life's worries, big and small, fill us with dread. Many of our intuitive ways of experiencing the world, especially how we feel about ourselves, are mistaken. Buddhist thought and practice offer tools to dispel the buzz, and to engage with life in an authentic and meaningful way, by showing us how to see the world more clearly. If we only see the world through the prism of ourselves, we see it incorrectly--we miss the point. Philosopher Nic Bommarito explores how centuries-old Buddhist techniques can teach us to get out of our own way, learn to understand how the world really is, and take steps to change our experiences of it. This short and friendly primer presents a guide to the good life that anyone can follow, laying out the basic philosophical ideas behind Buddhism's teachings and offering practical techniques and practices.
